Pros

Depends on store volume, manager, and co-workers. But a good manager makes all the difference. When they’re good, and you have a trusted supported team, the job isn’t too bad. Getting paid weekly instead of bi-weekly is really nice. Pay for part time wasn’t bad either.

Cons

inconsistent scheduling, abuse of part time hours. (Scheduling right at 39) and overall inconsistency with job class. I was a clerk, then a scan price clerk, and then they tried to strong arm me into being DSD. Both jobs that were 4am clock in times. Co workers constantly called out or sometimes just left during their shift with no consequences. So sometimes you would start a shift closing with three people and then an hour in someone would disappear and then it’d just be two for the night. And then your co-worker takes their lunch and you’re left to do truck by yourself.

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.
