Pros

Publix offers a great place to start working. I was employed with this company as my first job back when I was still in school and it was a relatively low stress job with a decent paycheck. One of the best aspects of this company was the fact that management was more than willing to listen to employees and work around schedules. As long as you gave whoever you reported to notice of your needing time off in a decent amount of time, you would be guaranteed to have that time off on your schedule. Additionally, upper management was very friendly and surprisingly knew many of the employees by first and last name, even if they weren't one they directly supervised.

Cons

This was not a job one would want to make a career out of . It was a decent part time job, but someone working full time would likely quickly get tired and look for other work opportunities.

Pros

Management is very good. Phenomenal work environment.

Cons

The hours for part-time were not fixed, so it was a challenge to juggle some schedules given at times.

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.
