Pros

Negotiable pay. Good coworkers. If you're part time, you have better control over your schedule. Some management is helpful.

Cons

Poor management. Not everyone, but enough to make a noticeable difference. Training needs improvement. It's possible you will not get help or direction, even if you ask for it. No accountability for employees, things are just let go and the work environment suffers.

Pros

Great people. Flexible with schedule occasionally. AMAZING benefits. One of those jobs I'd recommend climbing the ladder at. Have to have patience to move up.

Cons

Takes time to move up. Lower pay depending on the position.

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.
