Pros

Decent starting pay, generally able to get requested time off, my department managers I have now are really good

Cons

Pay raises are small because its the store manager that gives you the raise, not your manager that sees you do the work on a daily basis. Many people stuck in their ways, and if you don't pick up their slack, which you shouldn't have to, it still makes you look bad, even when your doing three people's worth of work. Some managers hate the fact of having emotion in the work place, but were human.

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.
