Pros

Great benefits and retirement your retirement can be either just publix stock or you can do 401k which is also Publix stock

Cons

Nepotism father in positions to help son even when evidence points to the fact that the son is either lazy , incompetent or unintelligent. They say to be like Mr George but they couldn't carry his shoes. They have found a way to be 100% productive or not. Mr George cared not only about making money but also about his customers and employees. As the company grows they are more like Walmart, Bilo, Food Lion then the would ever want to admit. They started treating management as numbers not as owners. They tell you to have a work life balance but make you work 50+ hours a week. If you write down what you are working now that you are totally salaried you are probably working closer to 60.

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.
