Pros

- For the most part, easy - You feel part of the family in most stores - The pay is too terrible for what the job requires you do. - VERY flexible work scheduling. Can change workable hours any time (though not advised). Great for any students who need to take a few days off, even in a row.

Cons

- Majority of managers are only concerned with themselves, not looking to push for others. - If you aren't perfect, it feels like you are hated. However, often times employees with clearly worse work ethic than you get treated better. It's a roller coaster at Publix. - Promotion is a lottery. Think hard work and perseverance will get you a guaranteed spot in Publix management? Think again! It is an absolute coin toss, and I have seen many great managers get surpassed by complete idiots, because they knew the right manager. - It is a thankless job, unless you are a lucky few with a great manager. They are out there. Don't expect as many compliments as the amount of complaints.

Pros

Good compensation including not just standard pay, but also end of year bonus 80 hours for hourly associates, 8% of your annual earnings granted to you in free company stock thru which quarterly dividends are paid, ok 401k, and gift card and other associate coupons. Good stability and growth. Good company culture.

Cons

Can be slow and resistant to change. Uses some antiquated systems and software that should have been replaced years ago. Does some things that don't make sense. Some managers can be good, while others not very good. Although these cons may be true for a lot of companies. All roads eventually lead to Lakeland where they are headquartered. Geography can be a big one if you are not a Florida native. If you don't want to live in Florida for some legitimate reasons, there can be limited job options in other states, especially if you aren't interested in retail or warehouse jobs. Standard retail negatives about not having a lot of holidays off.
