Pros

•Benefits can be great. However, if you are part-time, it takes a year or so to become eligible for them. Even then, you have to work a certain amount of hours in a year to be qualified for health insurance for the next year. If you're not, you lose that benefit for the year.

Cons

•Some of management, and some co-workers, have been incredibly unprofessional and have overstepped boundaries before. I've also had negative personal comments said to me. •Need to be trained in a new department? Good luck. Communication between management and associates can be atrocious. Either you get the wrong directions, or you get none at all. And if you do something wrong, even as a new associate, you are talked down to. •If you are part-time, keep in mind that your hours can be cut at any given time, especially during the holidays.

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.
