Pros

You get to wear jeans to work.

Cons

Overall Publix is a bad place for I.T. professionals. If you want to work in a professional environment with smart people, Publix is not the place. Incompetent, untrustworthy, dishonest, rude, unprofessional IT management. Dishonest, unprofessional to I.T. vendors. Promotions based on who you kiss up to, not based on actual performance. Poor employee morale (you’re expendable, replaceable and treated like dirt). Terrible work-life balance, long hours with no fair compensation. No I.T. talent (all the talent is leaving or has left). High insurance, weak benefits. The cheapest, fastest solution is the best solution. No advancement, management discourages training and you’re blocked from moving into other areas of the I.T dept.

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.
