Pros

They really care about employees, they're really flexible with scheduling if you ever need time off. Also, they make sure you take breaks if you work more than 6 hours a day. Depending on the store and the people you work with you can develop great friendships over time.

Cons

If you work at one of the stores as a cashier or stacking boxes, it will feel like you are not being compensated enough for your work. Also, you will probably have to work weekends or close the store and won't get to go home till 12 or 1. You will be standing for long periods of time.

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.
