Pros

Weekly pay, great coworkers and flexible scheduling

Cons

Terrible pay Inconsistent hours Horrible management No chance of ever becoming FT Horrible almost non existent raises No employee discount Where do I stop ??? If you are 16 and looking to make a few dollars a week for gas and going out with your friends it's fine. If you are a responsible adult needing money to make a living, move along. This won't be the place for you. Management treats you like a child. They do not have your back if there is an issue with rude customers. I have been with the company almost 2.5 years. Finally leaving for full time employment. I won't say this is the worst place I worked but certainly not the best or even close to the best. Publix definitely does not care about their employees. They have taken away our inventory bonuses, raised the amount of hours per calendar year to get insurance. I can go on and on and on. Just glad I am leaving and don't have to deal with this company anymore.

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.
