There are no perks or pros to this job

Cons

Too many hours and inconvienet scheduling. The management was awful and constantly ask you to work way too hard for too little. They also ask you to perform too many tasks at once at lightining speed. Incredibly stressful environment and constant extensions to your work shift while i was there i have come in several times to what i thought was a six hour shift and ended up working 10 hours with a thirty minute break inbetween for lunch. The management was the worst they constantly berate you for the smallest error and they never help with anything and dump there work on you. Also the other associates would gossip more than the gossip girls and these were grown men mind you. They also make you take long lunch breaks that are four hours so you can come back at eleven o clock to finish the midnight leveling and you dont even have a say in the matter they also dont even give you overtime. My manager once took myself and two other coworkers into his office to berate us for going over hours when he schedules us to work them. They will also call you in on days off so you can come in even if you have worked everyday for a week and then you get one day off. The pay is garbage and you can barley live off of it. They are also very inconsiderate of any stickiness abd illnesses that you may have and will tell you to suck it up If you are applying for a stock clerk position in miami lakes be warned

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.
