Imagine working for a place where you get paid $11/hour to sort through people's dirty laundry, are allowed to miss at MAXIMUM 8 days of work a year before you're fired, exposed to mites, bedbugs, urine, and feces on a daily basis, and being told every year when wages become more and more of a joke that you can't get paid fairly because if they did that they'd have to cut all the programs they work with. No need to imagine. That's Goodwill. For those that aren't aware, Goodwill's clothes are fresh from the dirty hamper. No washing. Period. Take a look around next time you shop and count all the air fresheners mounted along the walls. Those are there to mask the stink of several thousand articles of dirty clothes. It boggles the mind that anyone actually uses the fitting rooms. read more

goodwill is only about goodwill for money, and in the old days beneath the founder, Bob, the place was a CHARITY organization, anyone telling you differently is biased to what the place is for now, or else may just get 'cool' stuff from them with more money than they know what to do with, Bob has since retired and has handed the reins to people who may well lack maturity, and the least qualified people, those they 'help' are always on the low rung of the totem pole and those at the top often seem least qualified to run the place, all in all, the place is indeed a great ripoff and a very bad joke about capitolism in America becoming it's own ravening beast, swallowing up the resources of those coming to Goodwill looking for a bargain, or at least a job, but all they get is poorer, with a very real possibility of bedbugs or mites or other vermin in the products taken home as 'treasures', one time I was working donations, some woman dropped off a comforter she claimed her dog had urinated on, they washed it, and it was still wet and a little stinky, Goodwill took it in no questions asked and slapped a tag on it and it went out for sale, and this was when Bob was still owner and founder, before he stepped down and gave the reins to some younger folks not as seasoned, those who work part time, especially on programs, even the ones with mental health issues are expected to act like everybody else and when they go wrong there is always fur to fly, tears to be shed and hell to pay, the program person has no voice whatsoever and just gets stepped on, despite being 'offered a job', yet it seems more like a big publicity stunt than to actually encourage and empower those less fortunate to feel like they are worth something or like they are getting an affordable deal they can't get elsewhere, personal observation, one would have a better time getting food from Vinnie's food pantry once a month with a person taking them through the aisle giving them OPTIONS,.. FOR FREE, thus giving the poor person a sense of autonomy and giving them that right back again to choose what foods to take and which ones to not, and the clothing area has decently priced goods as well, tho I cannot guarantee the quality of the items sold as better or worse than Goodwill, but at least the Food Pantry area gives the people back their dignity as human beings by not charging them for much needed food and has a bigger selection, like a 'free store', where everything is for free, even women's health needs and diapers, toilet paper, toiletries and the like, no such offer has ever been given by GoodWill, they have only taken in free goods and sold them off at such high prices, they cause more harm than good Thus proving the harm of American greed and the value of generosity read more

Goodwill has really gone downhill. Finding ladies slacks, capris or jeans is absolutely ridiculous! Nothing is sorted by a size anymore. Now they don't even give you a bag for a purchase, instead offer o "sell" you one. Always asking for more donation $$ AND round up too. Money hungry, overpriced business. I'll go elsewhere! read more

Bought a corded power drill for $24.99 and when I got it home, I plugged it in and it didn't work. Took it back on the exact same day I bought it with my receipt and the sticker still on the drill and asked for a refund. Cashier said no, they can only do a credit. Asked for the manager and the manager says she doesn't give refunds on electronics, only credits. Even after telling them both that the drill was defective from the start they told me too bad so sad. Manager said that's just the Goodwill Gamble like it made it right to scam me out of twenty five dollars. Left the drill on the desk and told them to keep it. Not interested in spending money at a so called charity that gets its money from pulling this junk. They can keep the money, they won't ever get a cent out of me again. read more

Found some great items however its way over priced. I can go and buy these items cheaper at tj max or a Ross. And a side note, i seen this pair of shoes at target for $5. they must have donated them to goodwill and goodwill decided to mark them for $6.99. I've never seen a goodwill so overly priced before. Don't recommend marshfield goodwill unless u buy only the color of the wk tags.(50% off) read more

Just a note on those people who are dissatisfied with Goodwill's pricing. If you find lower prices elsewhere - then go there. Remember that Goodwill's mission is not to be a low-priced option for you but to give people work and skills that may be disadvantaged. they have other functions, but what you are paying for is more than just clothing. It is help to people in need. So - get over it. read more

I used to love going to Goodwill... but lately they have jacked their prices up so high that you might as well just go to a regular store and spend the extra dollar or 2 and buy it new. I love the layout of the store and the fact that they keep changing things around though to make it fun to "find" things. I just can't bring myself to spend $20 on a pair of used jeans... they base their prices off of name brand things and if they are new. They do get a few things from Target, but I've noticed that they charge more for the item than what it was clearanced out at Target for. Total rip off! Staff is friendly... That's about all. Oh, and Yelp does have the wrong address -- its on North central a little past Wal-Mart next to Menards. It used to be located on South Central... just an fyi read more

Please remember, Goodwill does NOTHING for the community, it does not help the needy in any way . The Store name is misleading to say the least. read more
