Pros

Publix offers great benefits to full time employees. I love people so its perfect for me. Most employees are friendly. Open seven days and late hours so its easy to get your 40 in. No two days are ever the same. It is nice to feel that you are making a positive difference in someones day.

Cons

Publix seems to promote men more quickly. Minorities also move up fast. The older you are the less they are inclinded to want to invest training in you. Its not impossible to get through all that but you have to work hard and be persistant. The fluctuating hours can be hard on your sleep schedule.

Pros

Management is very good. Phenomenal work environment.

Cons

The hours for part-time were not fixed, so it was a challenge to juggle some schedules given at times.

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.
