Pros

One upside is gaining various skills to bolster your resume, although it might be tiring for some. But nothing else really here.

Cons

The absence of a rationale behind the prohibition on remote work for all employees remains perplexing. Specifically, while employees residing outside the state of Florida enjoy the flexibility of remote work, those within the state are inexplicably deprived of this option no matter how long they've been an employee. Consequently, individuals situated in areas such as Miami or the Keys are compelled to endure arduous commutes spanning 5-6 hours to the office twice weekly. Despite the passage of several months, no reason has been provided for this policy, suggesting its indefensibility. The work environment fosters a culture characterized by intense competition, rapid pace, and toxicity. Employees frequently find themselves compelled to extend their work hours unnecessarily, without clear justification. The company's approach to work lacks progressiveness, often appearing to move in a regressive direction. Development processes seem to lag, employing antiquated technologies and methodologies that contribute to sluggish progress and outdated practices. Salaries are lower than the standard.

Pros

You are in charge of your paycheck. What ever you can run determines your check. I was easily making $40+ running a 160. Most days I would clock out with 180-190 also making around 47 an hour.

Cons

Not too many cons. Only thing is it’s a physical job and no set schedule.but in the plus side you get your rest.

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.
