Pros

Clean stores, loyal customer base, and (so far) stock is still purchased for full time and many part time associates.

Cons

No overtime allowed, No more bonuses, Few benefits for part timers, Decreasing benefits for full timers, Growing too fast, Untrained store level management, Tyrannical Corporate Level Managers with no sympathy for their employees. The pay isn't very competitive and with the removal of inventory bonuses (which even part timers got), there is no reason to choose Publix over other retailers. If you can get higher pay at Publix, go for it. However, don't expect respect, understanding, or even professionalism. New CEO (who gave himself a 56% raise, while effectively cutting all retail associate pay), new leadership, new rules, and less benefits.

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.
