Pros

It was fun getting to meet new people (customers and coworkers). I really formed a bond with a few people that I worked with there and had some really good conversations. You get benefits after working there for a few years. They also can help pay for your college classes.

Cons

You are always on your feet. You can barely even stop to take a drink of water without a manager telling you to do better. Bringing in carts can be a bit of a hassle, especially in the summer when the temperatures rise to 101 at its peak. On top of that they usually just make the minors bring in all the carts. The minors are essentially the managers frustration outlet as they are always getting yelled at for no reason and being told to do way more than everyone else. And even though they pretty much carry the whole front service clerk area, they are only payed about $10.50 an hour. I used to think that it was a good job opportunity for teens since they hire so young but now I see that they hire young to exploit minors for cheap work. I would not recommend this job to anyone unless they really had no where else to go.

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.
