Pros

Pay and Benefits are outstanding and Publix cares about their employees and want lasting relationships with little employee turnover. This is a place that took making employees happy first so in turn they can make customers happy and they are a leader in the business of customer service and won many awards and titles for best customer service, so that tells you how well they treat their employees.

Cons

The hours you can be schedule are not a typical job that works 8-5 but this leads to flexability but can have to start work at 4 or 5am or can leave work at 12 or 1 am but will only work between 8 to 10 actually hours in a given day.

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.
