Pros

Stock and other benefits

Cons

Crooked management , people with disabilities never got promoted. I aked for full time and the management at the store at the time basicly told me to clean the delly and the bakery and if i do good i might get full time later on , so i did what he wanted , everyone at the delly said i was doing a great job and need full time but i never got full time , so one day i was told to clean the dumpster so i thought if i clean the dumpster i would defintly get fulltime , one of the customer service management people was helping me clean the dumpster so i asked the this person why would they choose you to help me? and she said he didnt i chose to help , you were going to be on your own , so i said why would the store he send me on my own? She said because he thinks you are a good cleaner , so i was used , i had learning disabilities also , i never got full time , i gave them way more then enough time , 5 years! there was plenty of times where people got promoted over me that only worked for a month or two , i feel like they did not promote me because of my disabilities. The higher ups are very crooked and dont treat everyone equal. Cons , if you have disabilities , you have to work better then people without disabilities to get full time , higher ups treat you like garbage , they dont treat people with disabilities equally and if you have disabilities the higher up will promote people that dont have disabilities over you. he will not let anyone transfer stores , even if you live next door to your publix , (its a dictatordhip)

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.
