Pros

The pros...well I honestly can't think of any besides my coworkers. They made my time there somewhat tolerable.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of employees to meet goals such as stocking clothing, sorting, putting items out on the floor etc. Treat their employees crummy, all they seem to recognize is the negative. They steal from employees, paying for less time than was worked...make sure you check you hours against the hours they have. They mislead about holiday pay. Make sure you have a clear understanding of this or you will be working the holidays without any extra pay. They love to give write-ups. Don't allow employees to make an announcement when it's close to closing time which forces employees to stay later than their scheduled shift. So rather than getting out by 10 p.m. it was 10:30 or 11 more often than not.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
