Pros

none unless you are management who make bigs bucks, ride on the backs of employees making bonus checks, stocks, etc.

Cons

everything unless you are management who make the big bucks, stocks, quarterly bonus PLUS and all kinds of other money, bonuses etc, 6 figure salary and can treat employees with as much disrespect, harassment and unappreciation as they choose and nothing happens to them, only the employees suffer no matter how great of an employee you are, does not matter how hard you work, , some managers and assistant managers ruin Publix and peoples jobs. Publix Employees are supposed to be OWNERS of the company not employees, but that is not so either. The whole of Publix is a bunch of brainwashing nonsense of which they will defend the mistakes and wrong doings of themselves, the managers, to cover themselves. Disgrace!

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.
