Pros

Some of the best benefits you will ever find in a company. You get bonuses every quarter based on the length of time you've worked there. There is limitless opportunities to advance being that the company only hires from within and everyone - EVERYONE - starts from the bottom up, so everyone's been in the same position before.

Cons

They are really strict on attendance, which shouldn't be a big con, but most managers aren't flexible when it comes to issues such as illness, car problems, transportation emergencies, etc. Also most of the managers, especially if they've been promoted way too early, have a tendency to either power trip or be very incompetent in their job. Other than that, there aren't that many cons about the company at all.

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.
