Pros

If you like to be treated like a XXI century slave. Join the Publix team!!!

Cons

Uneducated, racist, lazy, disrespectful, and unprofessional management team at the delk spectrum store in Marietta, Ga. Things like sexual harassment, nepotism, and preferential treatment is as common, as the 1998 top 40 songs that play daily on the speakers. Low pay. Employees are pressured to SELL charity donations; reprimanded and penalized if the daily quota isn't met. During fall and winter, employees are not allowed to wear gloves or any kind of outerwear, not even the baggers that have to walk around the parking lot to pick up empty buggies. The young team of customer service is disrespectful to anyone, including customers. I dont think there is enough space for me to keep on writing how truly awful 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.
