Pros

Flexible part-time hours They take pride in their customer service Offer insurance to part-time employees if you meet the yearly hour requirement You can move into management fairly easily

Cons

Extremely late nights. If you are scheduled to work 4:00-10 you are not done at 10. You then stay and block the store which can take until 11:30 or 12:00 midnite. Awful work hours even in management. They will hire you as a cashier and then start scheduling you several times a week as a bagger.

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.
