Pros

Being part time meant I could choose my own hours almost every week and the pharmacy was very flexible with hours. I could always go to a nearby pharmacy to pick up hours if I needed to.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement, it's a completely dead-end job with low maximum pay. The raises are pitiful so you will never hit that max because they raise it a small amount every year to account for inflation.

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.
