Pros

Good pay,flexible hours, school tuition reimbursement

Cons

Extra restrict on attandance , dress code policies. If your shift starts at 10 and you clock in at 10:03 your cinsidered late. The store managers don't care about employees at all. All they care about is to look good in front of CEO and their supervisors . Absolutley no consideration when it comes to one's personal life. They dont care if your sick all they care is if you are going to make it for your next shift and if you know anybody who can cover your shift. You get no praise when you go over the line to do something THEY are suppose to do.They can't even provide you with hours and you are expected to show up whenever they call you to go to work even if it's your day off and when you don't you are considered "not flexible" . And if you dare to let them know about how you feel you are named "rude" and you have "attitude" problems. I am absolutley done with publix and I tell you make sure you get to know your store manager as well because if you are a tech that means you have to deal with TWO managers and not just one compared to other people.

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.
