    At my Goodwill, this is called “textile production.” At least, 85pcs on each rack. Each rack must be done in ~1hr. But, we done have a “quality grading machine.”

      What's your quality grading machine? We don't have one and I've never heard of it. Every rack we tag gets inspected by a supervisor before it goes out. That's our quality "machine." If something isn't up to par, we get to take time to void the ticket.

    I worked at Goodwill as a softline processor and it was absolutely shit. They work you like dogs physically and mentally, managers hover over your every move, metrics are unobtainable, conditions are gross, you're constantly picking up slack from people who quit/are fired and never replaced, and all this for completely noncompetitive pay.
    I went from working at Goodwill for $10.10 an hour to amazon at $18.60 and do far less work and come home far happier.

      We have to put out 100 pieces per rack in no more than 2 hours per rack (if we're new), but they don't TRAIN us on ways to go faster. All they seem to do is find errors AFTER we've already filled a rack, then we have to void tags, re-tag, and use up valueable processing time which cuts down on our daily production log.

    When your told to roll the rack and your told to finish in 15 minutes. Where on the rack do you start with? I wanna know cause i get told to get done faster and no matter what i do, i can't get done in 15 minutes. Please help.

      I get told 15 minute thing too. But I’m told that I’m not supposed to sort any racks, however sorting is the fastest way that I have seen. Meanwhile not sorting, really makes you run around the entire store.😣

    Good for her but she'd do A LOT better patronizing a different thrift store. One that does not high gross the needy people that can't afford to shop retail. Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona are the most corrupt, discriminatory, greedy people in the history of Goodwill.
    Burt v. Goodwill 9th District Federal Court
    Three days after returning from spine surgery and after having worked there eight years (9 stores when I started, 53 when I left) my pay was cut by $5280/year! A violation of FMLA, so I filed with EEOC and that's when the onslaught of brutality began.
    The EEOC found in my favor for FMLA Violation, Failure to Accommodate, Harrassment, Wrongful Termination and you know what the real kicker is? All I wanted was to simply do what under the law I should have been able to do.
    Shame on Jim Teeter, Tim O'Neal, Kimberly Jensen-Columbia, Michelle Geiger, Nobu, Dolan and every chicken sh*it that couldn't simply do the right thing!!!!!

    This is not a good representation of the job There is no points for recognizing nor point for calling out The pay is crap and most for the work that you do I did donation door,soft lines I sorted, priced and rolled out the cloths, also pricing, sorting, and rolling out the hardlines., I also did the truck(load and unload the trucks of supplies with a pallet jack and a walk behind forklift) most of the time the load was not secured so everything was on the floor so I had to restack and take it off and while that was happening the donation door was getting slammed and the boxes was getting full and piling up. Not to mention the trucks had big hole in them on the floor there were many times that I refused to unload a truck because it was unsafe and got a write up for insubordination. I was also in charge of giving the sorters the cloths and hardlines to sort for the pricers to price. And I was the inshore trainer and for all that I was getting paid $12. There was some employees that were incompetent of doing the job and it was unsafe for one instant we had a special needs employee and he had Tourette’s and he and another employee was lifting a heavy furniture items and the employee with Tourette’s dropped the item and it fell on the other employee and it broke his back. And they get mad at us for not working fast enough but they hire people with special needs that’s what they get. There is so much more DO NOT WORK A GOODWILL CENTRAL TEXAS OR ANY GOODWILL

      the most i’ve done in 8 hours is 850 pieces and that was with the help of someone running my trash and making sure my line was always full so i could process the most product. also a good and fast runner is super important if you’re running your own stuff then you’re short staffed and shouldn’t do more than 650 pieces a day because they will raise your number and take advantage of you. also be picky because if the runner can’t put the product out because there’s things that aren’t pulled/ just aren’t selling they’re going to take longer. also bundling 6 plates/4 glasses and separately pricing the rest helps with sales because some people are looking to complete sets or don’t want to buy a whole set.

    Goodwill unfortunately is very reluctant to hire individuals with invisible disabilities like high functioning autism and I worked at Walmart as a cashier instead for 7.5 years of my life (June 2009 through December 2016).
