My advice to people interested in working at #GoodwillIndustriesofGreaterClevelandandEastCentralOhio as a #StoreManager ...

If your not at corporate level, some of the managers would talk down to you. The pay is low for the amount of work that is expected, raises are also low , even for top performers. At my location there was not alot of Mission, programs were cut. It started to seem more like a for profit. They always expected more and didn't want to pay for it.

Helping people in the wrong way. For example giving them rides home when you seen them call for a taxi or there ride never showed up. Sometimes they would expect a ride when they know they worked the same shift. Lending money was another mistake I made. They would give you a sob story and you would feel sorry for them. Then you would find out that they had a drug problem or spent the money on something that wasn't what they said they needed it for.

At this Goodwill after six months of fulltime employment all employees would get three weeks vacation. So every week someone would be on vacation. That's fine you would schedule it. But in the morning when you set up your day, the phone would ring and there would be a call off or two. You were still expected to get the same amount of production done. That was insane!

When customers would switch prices on an item that you just priced earlier that day. They would say "I didn't do it". We wouldn't sell them the item. But this happened quite frequently.

When a program participant would find gainful employment.
