Pros

Publix gives healthcare benefits if you work full-time for a certain number of months, I think six consecutive, They also used to give out $50 Publix gift cards here and there. Managers were largely nice and attentive to employees. Growth opportunities.

Cons

My biggest complaint is the pay, they really skimp out on raises. I worked for Publix for some years before the pandemic. During the pandemic, everyone was working twice as hard. However, new people were being hired at a higher pay than me. It was shocking since I had already worked at Publix for years. I was able to go up in the company some, but my pay wasn't for some reason.

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.
