Pros

if it wasnt for management (EXCEPT our store manager who was amazing!) being so horrible i could say that i had a decent time working there (management has been replaced now). The only good that came out of it was that it motivated me to get my degree in finance and get out!

Cons

if you make a mistake or quite like me you will magically end up taking out trash and cleaning bathrooms every day for two weeks. They say its the "system" but no one was dumb enough to believe that... I've heard people had great experiences at other stores and i believe them management caused a lot of the problems. thankfully they are all gone now and ive heard the employees at my old store are all happy now for the most part which is good!

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.
