Pickles are loaded with sodium (salt), but low in calories. I assume you mean Dill Pickles. Bread and butter pickles, the sweet ones, would have alot of sugar in them. A bit on your sandwich won't kill ya either way, just don't eat a whole jar in one sitting:)

"just don't eat a whole jar in one sitting" <----I do that sometimes. I really don't know if pickles are healthy or not.

yeah, as long as a little water retention does not bother you, pickles are great. My wife for instance loves them, virtually no calories, but she hates the "bloat" they give her the next day. But, if you realize that all it is is water weight, then you should be fine.
