Pros

Good advancement opportunities, fellow associates are good to work with.

Cons

Bonuses got taken away, and the .65 cent raise is a joke. Less and less hours allotment to get job done every couple months. Expect 2 people to get 5 people's job done which is unacceptable for a department that does 30k a day. Upper management who has never worked in a department think they know what's best for the department. Big disconnect between managers and employees. A multi billion dollar company that puts band aid's on broken equipment.

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.
