Pros

- good pay - decent staff - room to grow

Cons

- some disrespectful coworkers, was sexually harassed while working here by a coworker (she asked me for help with getting price tickets and she placed them and touched me on my privates and my chest at the time I was scared to tell my manager so I decided to quit)and no one would help me at work when needed and left out back. - they didn’t care for employee safety (someone was hurt my first day but made her work anyways, they didn’t enforce safety on machines or clean up properly) - manager lied about my position stating it was part time when I was clearly full time.

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.
