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.

Pros

Great benefits and logistics that provides a system that seems straightforward

Cons

1. Pay rate doesn't keep up with even Walmart now 2. You're not going to make anything if you're not a manager 3. If you go above and beyond without displaying negative mental disorders they will hire new employees lately that are not mentally capable for the position and force you into lower hours instead of giving the new employee the bagger position. 4. Training for your job role has gone down and standard significantly 5. Requirements of more recent employees of gone down significantly 6. Good employees are constantly stressed out due to a lack of help 7. Extremely narcissistic overall management 8. They will lie and twist paperwork to suit their standards 9. If you're the best employee that customers love then they will not promote you based off of personal reasons if they like you 10. They promote for personal reasons and not your own ability
