Pros

The staff was extremely nice and fun to work with. The store has a very "neighborhood-friendly" feel. Most of the customers were very nice as well; it was easy to make personal friendships with both customers and employees.

Cons

It got very very busy during the holidays; the store was under-staffed so many of us had to work over time and past times we were originally scheduled for. This made it difficult to participate in prior engagements that I personally had planned with family members. The management wasn't very understanding with this.

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.
