Pros

Decent benefits for a company based in central Florida.

Cons

- Information Systems (IT department) is poorly managed and feels chaotic. I/S teams feel siloed off. -There's very little help from other teams if you are using their systems. - All associates in this department seem to share the same belief; there's not enough time in the day for all their responsibilities. - There are very few architects, and they seem to be spread thin between all the projects happening at once. Technologies are carelessly thrown at dev teams without any training. There's virtually no direction due to their limited resources. - Developers are on fire, their managers are on fire, and it seems to continue up the "ladder." - Very little diversity within I/S corporate. - Pay is not competitive for programmers/programmer analysts/ systems analyst programmers.

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.
