Pros

it is an opportunity to start working in somewhat IT. you get a Van pay every week

Cons

Feels more like manual labor than IT. Knowing how to use tools would be more valuable to the job than actually knowing IT stuff. Work odd hours like 12am to 8am on one day and come back at 4pm - midnight then back again 8 hours after. No chance to grow because you will be too tired to study after work and there isn't really a lateral or upward position to move to. Feels like a cult employees are afraid to speak their mine. No one seems to aspire to be more than what they are

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.
