Goodwill Industries International Anmeldelser 

Goodwill big bend were exceptionally helpful. Their job placement assistance helped me and many others to achieve employment. If you're looking for employment in Tallahassee Florida, I highly recommend this FREE service.

Goodwill stores in Oregon do not load or unload your purchased items or donations. Because of this policy, I tore my rotator cuff while lifting a wooden Lego table I purchased at the Goodwill store in Salem, OR, when the employee brought it out, but refused to load it. I told him I was disabled and elderly, and recently had heart surgery, pointing to my scar, but he just raised his hands and walked away. The problem is Goodwill Corporate has ignored my emails, phone calls and letters for the last year-and-a-half, and I just wanted to get my shoulder fixed. Because too much time has gone by, my shoulder cannot be repaired, but now must be replaced. I have limited movement, and am absolutely devastated to learn that legally, Goodwill does not have a duty to pay for this injury. Had I tripped or fallen, I would have had a better case I guess. I did not know about this policy or I wouldn't have made the purchase, plus, the pressure was on because there were cars behind me waiting to load or unload. I notified the store immediately, had xrays and an ultrasound which showed the tear, and was referred to physical therapy, but the Goodwill Corporation has never acknowledged me or apologized. They have terrible policies that harm seniors and the disabled--the very people they supposedly support and employ. Just get help from a friend or family member if you purchase a heavy item or have to unload your donations at Goodwill, because Goodwill employees in Oregon will NOT help you, and will definitely not respond if you are injured.

We have donated all of our furniture and appliances to this so call nonprofit organization for over 20 years. We will no longer donate anything to Goodwill due to their new hiring and firing policies. We are finished with these guys.

Absolutely a horrible company! Selling jackets for $14.99 and in other stores $17.99 - the Employees are rude and the prices are bad and I refuse to spend my money there as they are greedy and don’t try to offer deals to the public. They portray themselves as helping people find jobs but what about helping working families or unemployed families get good deals for their kids clothing ? They don’t care - they’re just trying to do the minimum and get the maximum. I won’t be supporting this business. The public should take their donations elsewhere.

To begin, a FYI, that Goodwill store your shopping isn't actually Goodwill. That store will fall under the umbrella of Goodwill Industries Internatial, but the company is broken down into regional stores each having their own CEO, governing body of volunteers and policy/ procedure guidelines. For example, my area is Goodwill Keystone Area comprised of 22 counties and 32 stores. So when they debunk advertisement like "think before you donate" it's honest when they mark it as false in regard to the CEO salary, because there are tons of Goodwill CEO's. In fact, the GWKA president got a big raise in 2019 to make over $500,000 annually. Not only did he see a huge salary increase but so did the other top 4 all of whom received salary increases of over 15% putting them, if not over, right at $200,000 salary. All of these raises come after over 800 emlployees lost their jobs and direct aid to clients went from 125 people to 22 individuals. Now they did make 1 contribution in the amount of $100,000 but that was to Goodwill Keystone Foundation who they also have an outstanding loan of over $800,000 from.
In essence Goodwill is Good for the TOP 5 who continue to see those salary increases but for the over worked, underpaid employee who now has to work 2x as hard for $9 an hour.......the first 4 letters of the company are nonexistent. And if you contact Goodwill in regard to any store problems, they are quick to let you know they do not get involved in any store matters. (in frustration I said "oh so your just there to collect a check" and the lady actually said "yep!)

I stopped by Goodwill today and bought an item for someone else . It did not fit so I took it back. And instead of cash I was given a gift card for another purchase. I have donated to Goodwill for years. I knew their prices was high ,but I did not know about the gift card thing.I pay with money so I expect money back. The manager was also rude in taking the item back. Needless to say I will be taking my contributions to someone else from now on. And I will not be shopping their. Very disappointed in the Goodwill in Muncie ,Ind.

I live in Louisville ky and I visit the Bardstown road Goodwill and I just wanted to say that I LOVE LOVE this store they have great products at GREAT prices and the employees who work there are great a young lady named Shay is always so nice and the manager Heidi goes out of her way to help me each and every time all the people who work here are extremely friendly and really helpful i just wanted to say THANK you to each and everyone who work at this location

They used to have fair prices but lately I feel they’ve been charging too much so you do not get such great deals

You used to find good stuff but now they just put mostly crap for sale and keep the good stuff to sell them online and to top it off they auction items, I mean like WTH? and their prices are getting ridiculous...

Prices are way too high. Goodwill seems to have forgotten that the items they sell are used and that they have been donated. The prices are too high across the board. Then there is no consistency to the pricing. You find two items exactly the same right next to each other on the shelf with vastly different prices.

Goodwill Omaha - Warehouse
In Store Visit on Monday, December 14, 2020

Goodwill Warehouse, 4115 S 72nd St, Omaha, NE 68127

I had a horrid experience at Goodwill while shopping in-store on Monday, December 14, 2020 between the hours of 11am and Noon.

While shopping, they announced the closing of an aisle and I thought they were talking about the other side of the store. A young childish female Goodwill Employee: with long black hair, skinny, brown skin (Latina?) and glasses came over to me and began mumbling and stepping closer to me. I asked her to step back and social distance. She stepped closer saying it’s fine. She tried to drag my cart away from me and I asked her to move away. She told me to get out of the lane with large bins moving thru. She was standing at the far end of my cart leaning into it. I responded, “let go of my cart so I can move and attempt a lil social distancing.” She said, “this is 6 feet - it’s fine”. Since when are carts 6 feet long? Note: Annuciate – we are all wearing mask – you know if you mumble, put two and two together and don’t create problems.

(In my opinion 6 feet is the absolute minimum and definitely not far enough, but then catching Covid would kill my family members, so I take special precautions. But you never know -- perhaps I’m clueless and this child is studying to be an infectious disease doctor...I’m guessing that’s doubtful).

After tugging the cart away from her I moved out of the aisle.
I then shopped for a couple more minutes and realized I just didn’t want to be in this store.

I went to check out lane where a different employee was behind the register. The girl-child Goodwill Employee accosted me again! Ghetto much? She came over to the register and stood on the scale to check out, claiming once again “she’s far enough away” and “your rude ”. I asked her to please step back (again) and she told me I could leave without my purchases because she felt I was being rude asking her to social distance. She began arguing with me - this child that had no business being in my interaction with the cashier. She then called the manager stating her manager would be backing her up. I told her I would be the one speaking to her manager about her behavior. I repeated the story to the manager who didn’t even bother to talk to the employee, suggesting to me this behavior is not out of the ordinary.

The fact that an employee baited me attempting to pick a fight in what can only be called an immature act of having to “be right” is absolutely uncalled for. She had already irritated me with her immaturity, mumbling and bitchiness. She then called me rude for sticking up for myself and my desire for social distancing. Why in the hell do I need to justify the need for social distancing?!?! Its December of 2020!!! This is who is representing YOU Goodwill. And as long as she is on your payroll - this is who your are legally liable for.

You can tell younger people who don’t take social distancing seriously and the little they do at work doesn’t compare to the general lack of social distancing they do In their personal time. She is definitely one of these. She tried to impose her lack of social conscious on me and I refused to let her do it. I certainly don’t appreciate having to defend it to a child representing your company.

Additionally - if you feel someone is being rude to you, could they be mirroring your behavior? I’m guessing this a person who finds people being rude to her, out of the blue, on a regular basis. I didn’t ask this girl to come mumble at me - but she had no problem coping an attitude. I was forced to deal with someone else’s moronic selfish child. A child announcing people are being rude to them which must make them right. I was being straightforward, direct, I asked “Please” several times and got someone else’s teenage nightmare in response. This child has no business representing any employer, at any level, at all.

There are plenty of people looking for work nowadays - I can’t believe this untrained rude child is getting the job someone with some customer service experience should obviously have.

I bought a coffee pot in Stuart goodwill old winn dixie plaza for 14 dollars and was told by the cashier that I had 48 hours to return it for any issues. The next day I open the pot to clean it and realized parts were missing. I tried to return the coffee pot and was told that I had 24 hours and that I can't return it. These are 10 dollars brand new at Walmart. Good will items are donated then they over price their items. Then they claim they're doing a service to community hiring disabled people but the government gives tax cuts for businesses to hire the disabled. Doing business life this it won't be long before they'll have no business.

Goodwill goodwill goodwill...
I’ve got mixed feelings about the goodwill industries! Online website and things up for auction and sale, are great. I just wish the actual locations were the same! Like here in good ol Washington state, more than half of their stores from Bellingham to Seattle are all over priced! I believe they’re forgetting what their sole purpose in life or what they were built to strive for, and that is in my opinion; the community, their workers, and their families! Not to gauge their communities and people that donate their goods to them by raising their prices so high that no one can even afford a used pair of shoes! Ya know? Tis why I rated them 4 stars!

Went there to the Manhattan, Kansas location last month for a interview and talked to a 👦 guy named Andrew. The place was very nice. Only 2 issues i had was the air conditioning quit working 💪 and he never called me back to let me know the status of things.

I buy used sports books and various dvds all of the time, and they have unbeatable prices, and their shipping speed is very fast and the cost is unbeatable. Thank you Goodwill for helping me find new ways to entertain myself at home during the quarrantine!

Marked up T-shirt’s as blouses to double the price !! When I inquired about it .. I was told too bad that’s how we do it !!! Infuriating! As much as I donate to this stupid place it should be free! Salvation Army will bd getting my donations !!!

OK place to buy items but they keep raising their prices. They also get some of their prices for resale off of eBay and other sites. Also found out that they have smaller thrift stores they have bought out and those prices sky rocketed also
If you want to return something they only give you in store credit

This company always accuses people of stealing. The clothes never even belong to them in the beginning to get everything for free and they are not a nonprofit organization they are a profit organization

No bad experience to share only that they shouldn't charge so much for items they get donated to them. We don't buy furniture from there because we can get nicer stuff cheaper somewhere else. We don't buy clothes from there either because they are charging closer to new prices. It is an interesting place to shop because it has a yard sale vibe but the prices are set in stone so most of the time we leave empty handed. Things should be cheaper for sure! The only goodwill is from us to them.

Too high priced. Goodwill used to be fantastic, but so many of their items are way too high priced. The CEO makes too much money for this to be a charitable organization. I thoroughly understand overhead, but $3.99 for a stretched-out ragged, stained sweatshirt? Come on! I never shop there anymore. There are many local thrift shops that have reasonable prices. Oh, and lest I forget....the smell of that rancid spray they use gags me!
