It was a better company in the past when George Jenkins was around. It's a shell of its former self. - Deli Clerk Publix Employee Review

Pros

Store employees are all suffering under the same umbrella, so there is solace in that usually. If you can survive a year or so, you'll get stock in the company where you will get dividend checks quarterly.

Cons

There is always someone in every Deli who makes everyone else's lives miserable. That's most places, but it doesn't help you'll probably be sweating, aching, and your shoes will have lunchmeat and cheese stuck to it. Corporate is an uncaring beast akin to Wal-Mart, and all store employees hate them, even the store managers. The CEO is hated by pretty much everyone who works for Publix.

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.
