A good pastor will uplift people, lead by example and cause them to follow Christ.
A bad pastor will point fingers, condemn, threaten, convcit and criticize.

A good pastor is concerned about the welfare of his church,
and serves not expects to be served. A good pastor preaches the truth of Gods word. A good pastor should be approachable and be willing ready and able to help his church. A good pastor should be accountable to God.
A bad pastor is one who does not care about his church, cares more about the offering that his church members a pastor who preaches an easy gospel and not the spoken truth of Gods word.
A bad pastor is one that cannot be bothered to serve and expects everyone to serve him not God first and a bad pastor also promotes himself and NOT God.

First and foremost, good pastors know that God is only one and there is a marriage of Good and Truth:
those of the church who come from this world having an idea of three Divine beings cannot be admitted into heaven,
since their thought wanders from one Divine being to another; and it is not allowable there to think three and say one.{1} Because in heaven everyone speaks from his thought, since speech there is the immediate product of the thought, or the thought speaking. Consequently, those in this world who have divided the Divine into three, and have adopted a different idea of each, and have not made that idea one and centered it in the Lord, cannot be received into heaven, because in heaven there is a sharing of all thoughts, and therefore if any one came thinking three and saying one, he would be at once found out and rejected. But let it be known that all those who have not separated what is true from what is good, or faith from love, accept in the other life, when they have been taught, the heavenly idea of the Lord, that He is the God of the universe. It is otherwise with those who have separated faith from life, that is, who have not lived according to the precepts of true faith (Heaven and Hell n.2).

I would say a good pastor would be humble, loving, & digging into the Word. He would have to handle bad situations as they arise instead of sweeping them under the carpet acting like they never occured.(in love of course) He needs to teach and protect his congregation.

If their mouth is moving. Their "job" is to convince the masses that their way is the only way. Think for yourself. Don't listen to any pastor.

Look at the congregation. If he's doing his job, they'll be living right and doing right and wanting to know more about how to make God happy. If they only show up to catch up on the gossip, to get in a nap, or to see what everyone else is wearing, you've got a problem...

His job is the teach the gospel of Jesus, and to lead the faithful to Him. If he is not doing that, or if his actions are not based in Christ (in love), then you will know.
