Pros

Benefits you recieve are a big plus, but usually takes a year to be able to start recieving them. They give you pretty good training and are very clear on what you should do and what you should not do. On your break you can eat Publix subs, which are amazing!

Cons

Very low stating pay, hours given out are often unfair and it is very hard to take time off, and even if you are very sick they still want you to come in. If you are not on the managers good side then you often have to work the hours no one else wants to work.

Pros

Amazing 401K, free stock after one year of employment, health insurance is very good for part-time employees if only getting it for yourself, management always approves time off requests, hours are always available, will work around school schedules, tuition reimbursement program, will reimburse you for gas for work-related expenses as needed and will put you in a hotel as needed for work-related reasons that are more than 50 miles from your home.

Cons

Not every store is the same, some stores are run better than others, some managers look down upon people with disabilities, and some see people with disabilities the same as someone without disabilities, they are very big about favoritism, you have to work a lot to earn a vacation, the company does not give out sick time and full-time gets the most benefits and is next to impossible to get full-time. Also, you practically have to be a former employee with a clean record or related in some way to a current employee to get a job with the company though Kentucky Publix's don't quite function that way.
