Pros

the hours are very flexible for someone with another job or if they are a student. the pay is competitive as well. You wont be able to make that much at most other easy entry level jobs. I have worked for both Publix and Winn-Dixie, they don't even compare. Publix takes care of those that want to work!! If your lazy, you'll stay making minimum wage. If you care and work hard, then you are rewarded with more hours and more pay. Name another retailer that pays there PART-TIMERS 4 retail bonuses and a Christmas bonus, plus vacation time. Don't even get me started on how well they take care of there full time associates. Stop complaining, you can't get everything on a silver platter, some things you have to earn.

Cons

the management is horrible, and advancement is hard to attain

Pros

Management is very good. Phenomenal work environment.

Cons

The hours for part-time were not fixed, so it was a challenge to juggle some schedules given at times.

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.
