Pros

As corporations go it is one of the top, but all of them have their downsides that one doesn't fully discover until you're in it. As corporations go, I found Publix to be one of the better ones. Essentially, good benefits as long as you are VERY mindful the qualification criteria and rigid about staying within the requirements. It was a positive and energetic atmosphere selling products of high quality that I could stand behind. They promote from within, a pro and....

Cons

a con (if one doesn't have managerial favor then your tenure nor high examination scores for salaried positions mean nothing). If really interested in the company, seek the new stores for hire at 'Grand Opening', it is a perfect moment to shine and get noticed by all the important people who's support you'll need.

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.
