Pros

pay (for meat deaprtment, managers, and people who have been there FOREVER) benifits (for full time). the other associates are cool and easy to get along with. managers (at my store anyway) arn't too bad and are pretty cool and fair.

Cons

the pay sucks for everyone else not listed above. raises are crap (25 cents per 6 monthes with a great evaluation) thats 2 years with almost perfect evaluations to go up $1 in pay. evaluations can only go down. way to over worked and underpaied, taking carts full of groceries out to people's cars for them (and 11 out of 10 times not gettign tipped for it), walking all over the lot collecting carts in the florida heat, cleaning the nasty bathrooms, and whatever else that requires you to be on your feet for 10+ hours a shift. no extra dollar on sunday unless you have been there from 09 or before. this past month (and still continuing) i have been getting a 12-15 hour shift per week. longer then a manager with WAY LESS pay then one. NO discounts. always get asked to stay and/or get called in and if you say no your hours get cut.alot of the customers are ignorant and rude and show you no respect (not all but most of the customers). sometimes you go 5-6 hours without a break im sure the list goes on but i just got off an 8am-10:15pm shift and am to tired to think of anymore. over all its good if you desperatly need a job

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.
