Pros

You get paid every week...that's about it.

Cons

Management sucks. They don't know how to talk to people. Please and thank you is not in their vocabulary. If you speak your mind, you are labeled negative. You have to clean the store (yuck). A lady puked in the bathroom and a poor little bagger had to clean it up. You have to mop, buff, sweep floors, wash windows, clean registers and clean on your hands and knees. It will take you till the day you die to be eligible for stock options if you're part-time. I only worked 6 weeks and quit because I couldn't stand management.

Pros

Management is very good. Phenomenal work environment.

Cons

The hours for part-time were not fixed, so it was a challenge to juggle some schedules given at times.

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.
