Pros

Publix offers some of the best employee benefits and customer training services in the business. Likewise, the employees - regardless of level - are treated fairly and equally. Even at the lower-status jobs everyone is treated well. The employee-owned stock options are excellent as well, meaning managers, cashiers, and truck drivers all have a secure future.

Cons

At first you feel like you are working for "the man" at such a large company until you realize that Publix has a very "local" feel to it. Customers know you by name, and district managers are often conversational with the most entry-level employees.

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.
