Pros

The coworkers you find yourself with can be the most infuriating or loveable people. Different kinds of people with all sorts of different backgrounds. It's never boring.

Cons

Upper management is the main issue. Constantly backtracking and making work environments unsafe for retail stores to turn profit in the guise of "transforming lives through the power of work". Workload can be insane at times but don't ever expect overtime :D Advancing in the company means knowing people, not working hard. Donors and customers can be extremely obnoxious and infuriating. Dealing with the entitled attitudes of both customers and management.

Pros

Your work benefits others in need in community. Good place to build interpersonal relationships with coworkers, managers, and customers. Good medical benefits.

Cons

Always changing procedures. Does not support there mission of hiring all types of candidates. They overwork their entry level employees. Lack of labor hours regardless of sales. Goals with time constraints are unrealistic. Employees voice out ways managers in HR regards. And they are quick to fire you on first offenses, favoritism. High turn over.
