Pros

Excellent benefits- they are outstanding an comparable to much higher level positions at other employers. There is also good camaraderie among the staff.

Cons

Lots of yelling by management, no support of staff when there are complaints about management, they do not follow prescribed breaks- sometimes you get a break, sometimes you don't; lunch is an hour unpaid. Promotions are very biased- they give tests; they don't follow results because are interested in only advancing certain kinds of people.

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.
