Pros

Great benefits and retirement your retirement can be either just publix stock or you can do 401k which is also Publix stock

Cons

Nepotism father in positions to help son even when evidence points to the fact that the son is either lazy , incompetent or unintelligent. They say to be like Mr George but they couldn't carry his shoes. They have found a way to be 100% productive or not. Mr George cared not only about making money but also about his customers and employees. As the company grows they are more like Walmart, Bilo, Food Lion then the would ever want to admit. They started treating management as numbers not as owners. They tell you to have a work life balance but make you work 50+ hours a week. If you write down what you are working now that you are totally salaried you are probably working closer to 60.

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.
