Pros

Publix is a great company to work for! It is a great atmosphere, generally great attitudes. They give you stock just based off of working there, that you get to keep if you stay with them for 3 years or more. You get dental and vision benefits being a part-time and have the opportunity to work towards getting health benefits as well. You are almost always guaranteed a minimum .25 cent raise every 6 months for your evaluation.

Cons

It is retail. Hours can be long and enduring, difficult to have time off at the holidays since help is more needed.

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.
