Pros

As a part timer, you get to choose the days you want to work. You're entitled to block your time.

Cons

Once a year performance review sucks. There should be a 90 day review. Regardless of the effort you put in and going the extra mile or positive reviews mgt doesn't really care, they only notice if it has a negative impact. Every manager is there to get to the next level. It's not about making their employees feel valued. It's more or less about their next promotion and they're just putting in their time. Concerns and issues get swept aside. Basically you're just a number. Inconsistent hours. One week you'll.have 30 hours, the next week 15.

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.
