    Goodwill International CEO is Steven Preston. Look up his salary. They also have to pay the CEO’s of each state and district salary. The employees make minimum wage. The items are donated. I am DONE with Goodwill. Yard sales may be inconvenient, but at least I see the people who are actually getting my money.

      They have the employees trained to ask you if you want to round up to the nearest dollar!!! I never buy their clothes. On Sundays the color of the week is ninety -nine cents! There's never anything on the racks!!!! 😕

      None of that is true. Those are all just rumors that started going viral about 10 years ago. The one CEO who makes that amount is in charge of Goodwill International, which is not directly associated with Goodwill. Each area of Goodwill stores is managed by a different staff, including the CEO.
      New employees might start making minimum wage, but I'm not sure what's wrong with that. Many areas pay above minimum wage right from the start. All employees get raises just like employees who work anywhere else. Here in California, Goodwill employees start at $17/hr.!!
      Goodwill was created to provide employment, not to sell things at cheap prices. The mission statement is:
      1. Provide employment to those who might not otherwise find employment elsewhere.
      2. Support local free programs, like culinary school, cosmetology school, workforce programs, etc.
      3. Keep things out of the landfill.

      @VioletJoy 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@TammyGaines-t4mThere's nothing wrong with that. The extra change goes directly to support local free programs and is optional. That's how many employees got their start.

    Same here. I rarely go to Goodwill any more. Their prices are ridiculous. Sometimes they are even higher than the original brand new price at the store. I do go to Salvation Army and local thrift stores. The Salvation Army does help people. I believe Goodwill is for profit and enriches the CEO.

    The prices have gone up because of all the flippers and re-sellers from what I've heard...All of the videos out there have actually hurt the buyers.. The flipping should have been kept a secret I guess. You have to bring your own BAGS, no lie, they don't wrap or bag a thing in Sault Ste Marie, Mi.

    I noticed my Goodwill has really gone up on clothing. I watched other thrifting videos and they been having the same issues. It’s because the stores are finding out people are thrifting and reselling so they are increasing the prices. I’ve seen some videos they won’t even sell to the person they refuse if they are reselling. I’m sorry but if ur buying and paying it’s not their business. But that is why things are going up in price. My Goodwill and Saint Vincent has even went so far to take name brand clothing items like Niki, Adidas etc pull them and separate and really price high never did before. Which is a little suspicious.
