Goodwill Industries International Anmeldelser 

Pulling off the color of the week for Noone to be able to get them on Sundays .99 day is pathetic.some people can't afford your overpriced clothing that is donated to you and depend on the .99 sunday.

I used to work at goodwill; it was the most horrendous place to work there. Every day was a nightmare for me. The work environment was so toxic that people would get into trouble just for breathing. The management team was clueless about running the store and handling any issues. One thing I didn't like was the leader's ignorance when it came to serious matters like threats, harassment, and bullying. Throughout my time there I was constantly bullied and harrassed by this girl named Cryssyia, she was one of the manager's favorite workers. I told management countless times that she keeps bullying but they always ignore the issues. Not only that but the whole company is built on dishonesty they keep lying to the community and good workers about their morals, and they don't have any morals. The only thing they strive for is screwing good people over and rewarding bad behaviors and promoting toxic workers to leadership positions when they don't deserve them. Please don't work there, save yourself the years of therapy, and find a better job that treats you like a human being, not a number. Also please stop donating there they are not doing anything good for the community they are only profiting from your goodness and your donations. Thank you and have a blessed day!

I am compelled to disclose the serious issues I encountered during my employment at Goodwill, located at 625 Main Ave, Brookings, SD. Throughout my tenure, I faced relentless bullying based on my disability and background, with no corrective actions taken by management despite repeated reports. The failure to address such hostile work conditions is in direct violation of federal and state anti-discrimination laws.

It is also alarming that the company employs multiple individuals with criminal backgrounds or close relatives in correctional facilities without ensuring appropriate conduct and standards are maintained. Furthermore, donations are frequently mishandled, and attempts to report these infractions resulted in retaliatory actions, culminating in anyone termination. This constitutes a breach of whistleblower protection laws, designed to protect employees who report unethical or illegal activities.

The internal environment at this Goodwill location starkly contrasts with the organization's publicly stated values and mission. The lack of accountability and support not only undermines employee welfare but also jeopardizes the trust of donors and the community.

For those considering employment or engagement with this Goodwill location, I advise caution and thorough due diligence to avoid the detrimental experiences I have endured.

Pricing!!!!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I'm ashamed that I even went to any of their locations or online. So much cheaper to by retail at any other store. The only things I'll donate now are bags of trash. So get ready they'll be headed your way Goodwill.

Looking for shirts, found one in color I wanted stains all over and they wanted 7.99
Seen another it looked like it been at bottom of the tub tote. It was all wrinkled and covered in dust and their price tag right on a dust lint ball

Needs to have their status changed to “for profit”… The owner is a manipulative schemer.

Tried returning a teapot that was smashed under the taped down lid. Was told with a smirk that they do not offer refunds under ANY circumstances. Yes, this is the only business that offers no refunds at all, that I know of. They have NO DRESSING ROOMS, they will accept a return for an exchange only, and that within two weeks. They pay no taxes on the profits they make from donations of used goods either. The managers are dedicated to this kind of abuse, many of the employees are abusive and unhappy in my experience. The tone of the store is generally sullen. I myself in many years of shopping at "Goodwill", have only once seen someone disabled on the floor in training, and that was in Wisconsin. How did we get here? How can they continue this way unchallenged?
A separate issue is the quality of merch. At this particular store, I saw a used poly pantsuit for $79.99, and some poly pants for $49.99. The racks are crammed with dusty polyester and rayon, and it's a days' work to cull through that smelly stuff to find a quality item. I won't go there any longer.
One workaround for a return at a "Goodwill" is to find any lightweight, easy to carry item of the exact equal price, return your item and give yourself another two weeks to find something. Then go to another store until this "non-profit" changes its tune for good.

Goodwill in Beckley West Virginia I'm glad to have bathrooms. There was a men's bathroom and a women's bathroom. Now the sign is either and or. And men are women can go into both stalls. For a while they had both out of order. At least they're open back up now as of today I see was open. But the toilet paper in the bathroom you have to turn a knob to get a little bit of toilet paper out a little by little turning off. That is just very irritating. The bathroom the toilet paper is really really bad thing. I've never seen toilet paper so hard to try to get out of the holder. That's just absolutely disgusting.

I have a queen size upholstered headboard to donate. I called GW in Milford and they referred me to a website saying that a 3rd party company does pickups. When I went to that site?? THEY WANTED $125 to pick it up?? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS??? Seriously??

On July 10, I went to Goodwill on Shiloh in Garland Texas. Everything was so crammed together. You couldn’t even look through it in the prices are ridiculous. 899 for like a plain T-shirt no design no nothing. The prices are outrageous and when you try to drop off if they don’t feel like taking it they just tell you to go somewhere else they’re full, but I didn’t see anything on the patio, they were very rude

really good food, good service

I doubt that corporate will care about what I write. I have been donating/shopping at Goodwill for decades. Not any more! Their prices are ridiculously high and everything is GIVEN to them! Goodwill stands behind this deception as helping people with disabilities earn a living. Goodwill ought to be ashamed of themselves!

Now charging for picking up donated items. This is not a charity; it’s another scam to optimize profit.

Boycott. Don’t give and don’t buy.

I went to the Goodwill at Main Street and Signal Butte. I was there for two hours, buying a lot. I just lost everything in a house fire. I was fortunate and found a lot of yellow tag items I am needed. At 8pm the manager. A very large man, bald. Told me I needed to hurry up. And then stood there staring at me. I asked him how much I had, he said 45 minutes. Then he finally left. With in 10 minutes he was back hurrying me. Then started looking thru my items. He stated there are a lot of yellow tags here. I stated I am very lucky. I really need these pants and shirts. He stated and me. Then left. I was trying to hurry. In another 15 minutes about 8:30 pm. He told me, I had to go to the check register, That I had to much stuff and needed to check out now. So, I did what I was told. There were a lot of customers in there looking around and still shopping. Other customers had there carts full as well. But this man did not harass any other customer but me. I put my items on the counter. The casher stated ringing me up. He came up and just stood there. The register that I was at was the only one open. He did not open a register to check any customers out. He just stood there. He told me, you know we close at 9pm. I said I am sorry. I have to walk and really need these cloths. I am grateful I found them. As the cashier was getting down with each bundle of cloths I put more up. The cashier stated stacking the cloths she had already run up, closer to the ones that were not. I noticed she had rang up one twice. I told her that. She got mad. The man was still there. I told the cashier, it's fine. I will pay the extra. I know he wants to get off work. She stopped ringing my items up. And just stood there with him Staring at me. People were gathering to check out. A long line of forming. I told the cashier, please finishing ringing my purchases up. Then the man stated you do not have to be rude. I told him, I simple said to please continue with my items. He then said, we will just put all these items back. He was very upset that I actually found many yellow tags. And would not sell them to me because of this. I left after I had spent over two hours, Total, looking for the cloths the fire took from me. I still have no cloths. And they were so mean and rude, I left crying. I you wish to take advantage of there special pricing DO NOT GO TO THIS GOODWILL. THEY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL HORRIBLE AND IN THE END WILL NOT SELL YOU THE ITEMS THAT ARE THE $2.00 Special. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MAN. HE HAD NO RIGHT MAKING ME FEEL SO BAD. OR KEEPING THE ITEMS I FOUND TO PURCHASE. !!!!

Do not donate anything this people are expensive they are making lo of money. I been donating for 15 years .I went inside the store they shirt 👕 for $12 more expensive than wal mart the at Hillcrost and Braidwood houston Texas. Just made made a quick search on Google that goodwill ceo make $700k also employees are rude .I will never donate or buy anything. Or buy.also an employee told me that there many scumbag at goodwill. When ever they get good high value products. They don't put out on the store. They sell it to retailers. Not to regular customers . And also employees get pay very little just the minimum

Horrible company. Employees and managers are taking all valueble stuff, rest is going on the shelves. So overpriced, you can find for less in actual stores. Old Navy, Gap, Shein and rest- priced more than in these companies. Managers are looking at you like on the dirt, you want to take a bath with bleach after their look. Especially, in 965 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02135. Stopped going there. Kenza, store manager, is making an experience of shopping unbearable.

Could be better, employees could be a little bit nicer

This organization as a whole can not be trusted. Right down to the employees. Use to shop in stores for years and that went to hell. Tried online which I never thought was a worse experience. No accountability across the board. More lost items, electronics that don't work, or their fall too is abandoned. You are actually better shopping with ebay where as a buyer you are covered in the event of fraud which seems to be common place with this organization. Just look at their Better Business Report where there is 10% resolved issues out of 100%. That pretty much says it all. What is abandoned is any morals anyone must have to work for this place. "Putting people to work" on the backs of others. That should be their moto. I'm surprised they haven't been shut down yet. Again, as a buyer you are better off using ebay where at least there is buyer protection.

I like going to Goodwill BUT I don't like the trick mirrors in all their fitting rooms which makes things look better when you're trying them on in the store, then when you get home and put it on, it doesn't look as good in a normal mirror. If that's not bad enough, here's the kicker, a lot of stores are no longer allowing you to return clothing. None of that should be allowed! It's basically robbing people.

If you want to donate your clothing etc, find somewhere else to do it please. Goodwill is a for profit business that gets free merchandise and then hikes up the price to ridiculous prices. Yes they give people with records jobs and people with disabilities. But why shouldn't they anyway! And don't round up at the register. You're already giving them way too much money! It's a perfect business model. Open a store, call it "Goodwill", have people give you free items feeling they are doing something good and then resell it for a profit. Sure maybe some people that are shopping there are resellers, which is why prices are hiked. But, your average reseller is not getting rich. AND youre getting it free! Otherwise its people that cant afford these prices. It used to be if you couldn't afford store prices you'd go to a thrift store. Now they arent that far off for used items. If the prices were fair I would not be writing this.
