Pros

Publix provides associates with great compensation, they promote from within always! At the end of the year Publix gives you stock based on what you make each year. The percent changes but usually about 8% of what you make will be invested in publix stock at not cost. They have all kinds of different job types something for everyone.

Cons

You always have to work around the holidays, no vacations. At times you will miss things with family on the weekends since you'll be working. It's very hard to get fired or demoted at publix unless you steal or do something really immoral. You will end up working with people who could care less.

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.
