Pros

Overtime- if you want time and a half it’s great

Cons

They don’t t care about good workers. They love to say they’re working on issues but they’re aren’t. It’s horrible. Everyday you come in and there’s an issue. They don’t want to pay their best people more and expect you to be okay with below average workers, picking up their slack and be satisfied with what you make while having a smile on your face. Very fed up. You can’t transfer unless they are fully staffed and trained which will never happen because management is a joke and can’t hire for crap. It’s like they opted to hire tax write offs. I legit had a store manger tell me he rather have a bunch of average workers rather than a few excellent workers. Yeah let’s see how that works when your average people don’t show up for their shifts and can’t even do the task they’re supposed too.

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.
