Pros

-Publix stores are a great environment -Publix hires friendly people so employees get along well -Management is easy to talk to -It is easy to move up into management if you are serious about it -Jobs are secure, Ive never heard of anyone every getting laid off -The pharmacy gives free flu vaccines to all employees -Very flexible schedules, great for students -Usually very lenient when you need time off

Cons

-No employee discount -Some stores, not all, have some bad habits. For example I have worked at two stores, and one of them 4/5 times was late getting blocking started. Instead of getting off work at 11-1130pm sometimes I wouldn't get home until 1-2am on nights I was closing. Which is not helpful for college students. (However Management listens and will make changes if the employees share feedback.)

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.
