I tried to drop off some donations. Parking is limited at this location so I had to park across the street. I had my arms full of bags and as I walked up to the donation door, a guy very rudely says “no donations! come back in 20 minutes! “ I think not. He could have said “ I’m sorry, we unable to accept donations now because blah blah blah but we’d be happy to take them in 20 minutes, thank you”. I guess that was too difficult.
You never know what you will find!
I visit a lot of Goodwill Store across LA & Ventura Counties and the on on Altadena Dr. in Pasadena has the rudest female Manager and staff of any Ive ever visited! The manager goes out of her way to be disrespectful. This clearly is a lack of district oversight and customer service focused training! Shame, shame these unfortunate individuals are not learning the basic skills to project them into future employment opportunities .....the two who I had interaction with this afternoon...I would never recommend for hire at another organization.
Nice and clean place. Poor selection in furniture section.
They got a Xbox 360 with all the cords and some controllers. I didnt buy it but very cool if you do buy it.
Rude customer service. The guy with the messy hair is unprofessional and rude! Won’t be back to this location.
Their items here a decent, decent prices, but what makes this location is the staff. Very friendly employees here, every single time Ive come in. Wish I could say the same for the Goodwill down the street (Fairoaks).. maybe management here should provide some much needed training to them in customer service.
Wonderful. Young lady at the register was cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable!
Very rude the guy at the door. The store was dirty the team was not friendly or helpful. I asked the lady at the front counter to let me see a ring and she gave me a bad attitude and said what ring. Never again coming here. I dont recomend it...
Uncomfortable. Too crowded. I had many people who physically brushed past me. Checkout area poorly marked & slow, & they dont want you looking in the glass cases cuz youll be too close to others. Then dont fill them!
Employees at this location are rude! Not much customer service oriented what can you expect from people tat dont care to ....hm
Prices are ridiculous for some things, but thats Goodwill management, in the other hand some of the staff members lack service skills rude and make you feel like theyre doing you a favor. Not all to be fair, some are nice and kind.
Clean and well organized
Donations process ran efficiently thanks to the hard work of one young man.
Parking sucks and the lady kept calling me honey, which I find to be a bit condescending and patronizing. But I guess understand because I look like a minor. I bought nice stuff though.
It has terrible parking probably my least favorite goodwill. The employees are nicebut the store didnt offer much.
Awesome clean and keeping everyone safe.
Mask policy not enforced.
Is very expensive for a thrift store...
This store needs a makeover, it has limited parking and theres a musky odor in the store.
Why those goodwill hate give things out to homeless people when they get it for nothing
It is a decent size store. Seems to be well organized, I went early on a Thursday morning. The shoe racks are in order by color. They have a variety selection of shoes for women. The shoe rack for men is a very small selection and seems to have a lot of big sized shoes. The furniture selection was pretty good from what I saw. For the childrens department, there were about 4 racks of clothes, most for other kids sizes 5/6 and up. Parking for this location is limited so good luck on a busy morning like Thursdays. Over all I would say some of the stuff I found were over priced to be second hand. I walked out empty handed, didnt find much of a bargain.
It’s pretty bangin!
I was hesitated to stop after reading this reviews but glad I still did. Everybody was nice and friendly! Found everything I needed here! Will come back and visit when I return back to Pasadena. Found a Betsy Johnson purse for 14.99 and heavy thick jacket for 9.99. Love it here!
Dirty, and most things were very high priced .
Its okay; pricey for a thrift store. I prefer Acts! I do like dropping off items to donate here though. They have a donation center and theyre open pretty late!
I like to came to this place often but today the new employees are very rude especially one latina lady I believe is the new manager vere rude I understand the new regulations but the way she was talking was not nice or politely:/( the day was Sunday sep 20
Good deals and finds. Parking sucks tho.
I love the goodwill
My awful experience:I walked in with my family today and this old lady who claims to own part of this place insinuated I was going to steal a $10 jacket that had a weird stain on it. I bought it for a Halloween costume, but she was so rude and kept watching me until I payed for it. She even told the staff to watch over us because she thought we were going to steal. This woman thought me and my parents were going to steal from Goodwill. We had just come from church so we were dressed nice, it couldnt have been that we look like from the hood or anything like that. I am guessing it was because we were talking Spanish to out parents. But seriously if you are a business owner you should know to hire security so that kind of stuff doesnt happen in your store because apparently its a problem if you have to sit there and watch people. Like even if I was going to steal what could she have done? Shes a small old lady! What, was she going to tackle me? If shoplifting is something youre worried about hire security. Dont sit there and harrass a teenager shopping with his parents. Never shopping there ever again, but I didnt feel like going to another Goodwill. I didnt buy anything else because I refuse to give them any more of my money. The cashier was really nice. Everything was affordable, or maybe not according to some of these other reviews but then again I dont shop at Goodwill. Place was well organized. The furniture was ok, but the couches has stains on them. Parking was awful. Also as you can tell, there is minimal security. I dont even recall seeing a security camera anywhere. Shop at your own risk for harassment.
I like the place some of the staff helpful
I came in here looking for an ugly Christmas sweater and thats exactly what I found($10). The selection here is far better than the Out of the Closet on Colorado. The prices were a bit more than expected but the quality over all was in the lightly used category. The childrens section was great with a variety of toys as well.Parking is horrible, tight turns and little room.
OMG!! I BEEN A DONATOR AS WELL A CUSTOMER FOR YEARS AND TODAY WAS YHE MOST HUMILIATED SOMEONE HAS MAKE ME FEEL. I TRY TO PURCHASE A ORNAMENT IT HAD A PRICE ON IT BUT SOMEHOW THE CASHIER DIDNT LIKE IT. SO SHE TOLD ME THAT THAT WASNT THE PRICE INSINUATED THAT I CHANGED IT??? I GOT REALLY UPSAID. I DONT COME HERE TO GET INSULTED.
I been coming here for years but never had such poor service from a MANAGER, I didn’t get his name, but he was a Hispanic young man with poor management skills and bad way of talking to a person. I am surprised by the level of service with this location. And he said he was a manager!!! So sad to encounter such way of handeling his supposed store. I will never donate to this store ever again.
I was treated with the antithesis of Goodwill.
This place has amazing selection. I got 3 suits for 10 dollars one time. Amazing
Fun store with very fun and nice staff.. a but messy and not organized. If it was it would be 5 stars!
Great place. If u see it get it because it might not be there the next time you want to get it. But good place tho...
Decent selection of clothes and assorted knickknacks and accessories. A few transients often rummage through the donated offerings, making off with the best (and oftentimes worst) items before they are even processed and inventoried.
Angie and the other female register woman with glasses were very professional and polite. Angie was helpful, patience and very kind/ professional!
Parking is terrible and always taken but it’s not a bad store
I found interesting old style wall phone for $15 and my wife found several attractive clothing pieces. Staff was friendly and helpful
Honestly one of the best thrift shops that I have been to in my entire life, and I am someone who loves Goodwill wherever I am in this country. The supply for this store is so great they fill many dumpsters a day with stuff they couldnt take, and they have new stuff coming out on the floor on roller carts roughly every 20 minutes. I think part of what makes the selection so good here is the proximity to very expensive parts of E. Pasadena, although I usually see hoodlums like myself shopping there. The record selection is pretty insane here; I have yet to get a portable turntable but have seriously considered it for this store alone. There is always a tag of the day which costs one dollar, so tons of people come in as regular and just hunt the dollar deals as a stress reliever/cheap shopping activity. The plastic bags they use are huge, and Im not kidding when I say they work both as a kitchen trash bag and as a rain poncho. If you like to shop vintage and live in or around Pasadena (it is on Metro Bus line 181), definitely check this Goodwill out and you wont regret it. Plus, youre helping employ a bunch of people who really need it. Win-win!
Friendly staff and dollar Thursday 👍
This is a small to medium sized Goodwill location, but decently laid out. It has a medium clothing area, large selection of CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes, small to medium size electronics area, and small to medium size household items. The manager seemed very helpful, the employees were relatively nice, the parking lot is medium sized and you will probably have to wait a few minutes for a parking spot to open. This location is relatively busy and popular for such a small location.
Nicely arranged and clean. Pretty quiet and good selection of household items.
This is my favorite goodwill great organized and nice workers never had a bad time at this goodwill only thing i hate is the parking thiers only about 20 spots and to get in and out for the parking lot is a hassel but you can park across the street. All in all a great time killer of fun outing
I gave it a 1 because its so disorganized and clothes on the floor and clothes are to scrunched together . And they only have there senior discount on Tuesdays and over priced on there tops I can get cheaper at Acts thrift store and they are organized. And the tops sizes are all mixed together.
This is a perfect business. The only problem Is insufficient parking. Many Times I have had to keep deriving because I couldnt find any parking there in their to small parking lot.
I have been coming here for many years and the staff here were great before!The new staff and store manager are very rude. No customer skills at all. Please Goodwill change your staff immediately. Loosing customers is as much hurtful as loosing money.Store Manager must go!
Big store and friendly staff. Great bargains like Wed. half price days and Thurs. $1 items
Always good for donations. Some great bargain for clothes and used appliances.
Never know what deals you will find. Parking sucks
One of the best! They are very helpful and have pretty much everything! Great stuff!!!
Somewhat haphazard in the Home Section. Electronic gadgets are not very well sorted. Clothes area looks well stocked.
Parking is a real pain. Good prices on some things, too high on others. Los are a buck more than other GWs.
One might expect a better quality based on its location.
It is like treasure hunt. You will always find something amazing.
Its a nice store, but the parking lot is ridiculous! Its best to walk there instead of drive or park away so yoi avoid the tiny parking lot.
Great prices of course. Great clothes, shoes and purses, even jewelry
Clean and well-organized. Friendly staff. New stuff all the time.
You can find great things for Halloween
Good place, good stuffBut for some items it is a little bit pricy
Stuff was dirty, but still had a lot of good stuff.
Always find something good very nice employees and great manager
Parking is horrendous but the store is pretty cool, you can find lots of treasures here like keyboards, furniture or books.A bit dirty, like most thrift stores.
Nice people working there. Not a very good selection for treasure hunters like me.
This Goodwill is my favorite. Clean, neatly laid out, and the manager and staff have always been helpful.
Im giving it 5 stars cause the employees were very nice and I found 2 deals. Parking is awful and store was unorganized- no Macys
Great finds, but you have to be willing to search!
Great selection
3.99 for old really old Zara Tshirt ...you sale the brand not the cloths....
Love this place. Friendly staff and killer DVD selection!
Always a good selection. Clean. Dressing rooms. Only occasionally have I seen clothes on the floor.
Horrible staff. one person told me 34 for a couch then someone came out and said 60. i asked if maybe i could get a discount since the prices i was quoted were so different. you could have swore i was asking for it to be free, took 10 minutes for them to tell me no
Been coming here for a good while always a good experience
Great stuff from the rich people in town.
Oh yeh i give the goodwill 5 big stars because there prices are just as fat and wrong
Visit for some great finds and deals.
I used to come to this place all the time but the prices are ridiculous. They jack up the prices and all the items sold are free donated items. Not worth coming here anymore you get better items on the offer up app.
Hey everyone, I am a collector and hit the jackpot at this store last week. Why for 3 weeks, no one purchased the odd ceramic container under the glass is my gain. So for $40 I bought what I thought was really old and guess what?! It is...It turns out a rare piece of Neolithic Chinese ceramic pottery that was dated by an archeology expert to 3,500 BC and the real thing! Thank you Goodwill!
Not bad. Parking lot is tiny. Customer service is so-so.
Pretty good dvd section.
The staff is nice and helpfull.
Large clean friendly nice selection
I always find great deals at our Pasadena Goodwill!
People there is always very nice
I enjoyed my experience Today.
Just looking around for shirts n shoes.Found athletic pro shirts new.
Clean place. Nothing really stood out though
They have a good movie selection
If you need to drop off big items, this is the place
I found a stainless steel teach can bran new for under$13.00 true price &40-50.00.
There is this lady she has a tattoo in her arm she has red dark braids she is so rude kept rolling her eyes and rude talking and plus the parking is so bad it’s to small and squeeze in
Nice selection, limited parking inside
Great service, great people, good environment.
Weak Azz Hell.. Lol...
Rude store manager...too too expensive
Clothes are not sectioned by sizes. Slow and difficult to browse.
