The vision of our 501(c3) nonprofit organization is that ALL people have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential through the power of work.Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee is based in Nashville, Tenn. The agency serves 48 counties throughout Middle and West Tennessee, operating 30 retail stores and two outlet stores, about 53 Donation Express Centers and 13 Career Solutions Centers. The nonprofit is one of Tennessee’s largest employers of people with disabilities with more than 45 percent of our workforce reporting some type of disability or disadvantage. Although affiliated with Goodwill Industries International in Rockville, Md., we operate independently through our own governing board of directors. Goodwill accepts gently-used items that donors no longer want, need or use. Those items are sold either in our retail stores or online at onlinegoodwill.com. Revenue from the sale of donated goods helps fund job training services and programs provided by Goodwill Career Solutions. In addition to retail sales, Goodwill depends on several other revenue sources, including state and local grants.
While many customers praised friendly and helpful staff, there were numerous complaints about rude behavior from certain employees and poor management.

I’m sorry, but I have to report this. Kristen was very disrespectful to me when I went in to start certify my weekly certification for unemployment i was clean and dressed proper and she told me I smell and didn’t look right for any type of job when I didn’t even ask for anyone to help me I just needed to use the computer at that time And this new program that she was talking about where they’re not allowed to do applications for anyone that we have to do it on our own

Team members are great but the management at this location is the absolute worst I’ve experienced. I tried to ask a simple question about an item that wasn’t priced and instead of helping me the manager stated “I don’t have time for you people “ very unprofessional.

I just want u to know that I have been in this store so many different times to buy stuff and I would like u to know that I am never coming back especially when the management team and the employees are rude. Not all employees and not all management but a lot of the employees there are rude. Maybe they don't like their job or maybe they don't like each other but someone needs to speak to them all, because it's upsetting to come in there and see them being rude with each other and then they be rude to us customers. I rather go back to Rivergate and Gallatin to buy my stuff. The floors are nasty, and there have clothes everywhere.
