Pros

You are paid decently, and there are opportunities for raises every 6 months based on your performance. The benefits are good, if you are there long enough and work enough hours to qualify. Some benefits are even available to part-time employees which is rare.

Cons

The customers can yell at you, say whatever they want, and you can never defend yourself. Management doesn't really care about employees as an individual and just demand the work force to break their back. The idea of the company is great, the implementation is flawed.

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.
