Pros

-The work is easy generally -Pay is weekly -The schedule/availability is flexible if you make it that way

Cons

If you have open availability you get worked to death. Some shifts are 10, even 12 hours, with a 1 hour break and rarely can you go home early. -Managers you like will transfer or quit, sometimes with as little as a few days notice. -Though the work is easy, Publix prefers to hire fewer people so everyone ends up doing a lot of work. -Publix strives too much for perfection and it is unrealistic.

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.
