Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois is a not-for-profit organization with retail stores that are often clean, organized, and well-stocked. The staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and kind, with some going above and beyond for customers. Prices are generally viewed as fairly reasonable. The stores fund community programs and job training by selling donated items. While most experiences are positive, there are occasional criticisms regarding item condition and a strict no-return policy on some purchases. Overall, it is seen as a clean store with a helpful mission and staff.
I enjoy shopping at Goodwill, however one must be aware of the prices. Prices have increased over the years and some items you can buy new for the same price.

Love this Goodwill — the staff are so friendly, clean bathrooms, constant rotation of things. All you can ask for from a thrift.
