Pros

Pay is decent benefits are good

Cons

Corporate has quotas for minors each store has to have a certain amount of minors in each department which screws over people that deserve the hours and they huge on DEI they’ll promote people solely on race because there’s gotta be a certain percentage of each race and it’s killing the company they’re blinded by numbers and they good people that deserve promotions don’t get them unless you are close with higher ups

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.
