Fair to everyone and is very understanding and is a go getter
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Being human and caring about humans
Listening to the frontline employees
Treating people better with respect
Not over stuffing the racks so that floor work can be done in the time expected. Company pet- bullies need to be wrote up for bullying.
Less computer training and more hands-on training more talk about rules and regulations explaining things to details and not making rules as something happens. It's like they make rules or something happens.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
It was hard comiting yes or no, for this one, I get PTO, employee discount & a bonus when our store is meeting sales goal.
Benefits package is fair and meets my needs.
well paid, completive benefits and bonus

Don't have one as I'm a part time employee
I don't have that package. I'm part time.

A higher wage and more hours.

The salary should be atleast $22 per hour.
We should make more money, wealth should be better distributed in the company

Most coworkers are attempting to resell products which is against goodwill policy. Because of their involvement in the reselling they improperly price products losing possible profit for goodwills mission
Stop whining and work and their numbers might be better.

They are all under stress every day
We all work together there hard working people.

open door and communication is two way

Young or old coworkers respect each other
That is the diverse in every way
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The whole agencies is a lie they need to stop promoting that they help people when they themselves don't even hire someone cause of a small record their fake
I feel that more structure is needed
More money and positive people
Management team that is trained better.
Review from Sales Dept
Better staffing and management in the store
Review from Sales Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
I had no issues if I had questions they were right there and helpful they had me look forward to being a new employee
I was told I would be the 1st employee to see the store completely empty, that I got the job just from interning at other jobsites.
It was thorough and fair.
they asked questions about my plans for future and what I can bring to the table
Review from Operations Dept
He took the time to explain the job and he took us to what we were going to do with our work
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Pay for potential employees to have a drug test - don't wait until they almost die from handling new goods textiles from China and then go " oh yeah, we need your pee." I am quite sure my smoking pot after work didn't cause an allergic reaction. New Goods from Goodwill are TOXIC!!!!
Make it little more comfortable with the manages doing the interview
Encourage the applicant to seek employment elsewhere
They need to look for people who want to work.
Review from Operations Dept
I would improve on them asking questions more and taking away the drug test
Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Being able to talk with co workers & our loyal frequent shoppers, as well as working
Impacting lives of those who need a helping hand.
the people and seeing new things
Review from Operations Dept
Interaction with coworkers knowing that I count as a valuable worker
My customers especially my regular customers they come in every day or three times a week at least
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Unorganized,missmanaged,unfair treatment,big bosses not stickin their nose up,when we are the ones makin them money,they act like your non-existant
Review from Operations Dept
If they could treat employees as human beings, that would be a start.
Very poor leadership in the store very bad store Managers

goodwill has a bad reputation of not being a good charity to donate to. Goodwill should show more proof of what it does with donations and money recieved from store sales
