Pros

Other people might say the best reason to work for publix is the pay and benefits but for me it the feeling that I belong to something great and can help make it better by my actions. It's also a good feeling to help a customer plan a meal and know that they are going home satisfied!

Cons

As it is with any job stress is a factor but it will not effect you if you can find that happy medium and balance your work and home life, if you don't have that you will never be happy at either!

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.
