As an organization that has a large stake in the retail industry, Goodwill of Greater Washington is keenly interested and aware of the evolution taking place. In this week’s blog, we look at two questions. First, what are some of the permanent changes we can expect for retail? Second, is retail still a good career choice?
Assuming that you start working full time at 21 and retire at 65 you will end up working over 91,000 hours - a sobering statistic to digest amidst a three-day weekend. It’s a good thing that we take one day a year to celebrate all that blood, sweat, and toil.
Just as there is more to Goodwill retail stores than being great places to find quality donated goods at great prices there is also much more to the people who work in those stores as well. They are always striving to better themselves and in turn are constantly building a better Goodwill of Greater Washington. Sari is a perfect example of one of our many exemplary associates.
