All in all, we operate over 300 locations and have 21,000 employees.
Our Beginning
We first started as a thrift store operating out of an old movie theater in San Francisco’s Mission District back in 1954. We gave people what they were looking for: well-priced items that made them crazier than the Elvis hip thrust.
Local Partnerships
As our company grew, so did our heart for helping others. We wanted to help local communities, so we partnered with nonprofit organizations doing great things like helping kids, the disabled, people suffering from diseases. The business model caught on to the tune of 300 stores across the United States, Canada and Australia.
Global Impact
But we didn’t stop there. We looked globally, too. We resolved to keep 700 million pounds of items from bedding and shoes to dishes and toys out of landfills each year by either selling it in our stores or sending it to recyclers and developing countries. – less

Stressful and demanding place
Value was a good experience since we had to deal with a lot, but Id see team members including me run back and fourth getting injured and feeling exhausted just to be treated like we were nothing by the customers. Most team members and female manager/supervisor had to deal with a lot of terrible customers while the male manager/CEO didn't face much. - more...
Pros
Good co workers, good experience
Cons
Customers, management, safety and health of the team members, stressful
