Pros

I worked in the Information Technology division of Publix Super Markets Inc. The reason I went to work at publix was to get training in working in a development environment. Publix is very team oriented and applies the textbook strategy of development. So here you get the feel of everything from the business group to the programmer. It is a breading ground for developers. Youhave opportunities to learn different systems that are used on a daily basis by the company.

Cons

Some of the downsides is having to work 45 hours per week to recieve the year end bonus from the company.

Publix... Where Working Can Be Frustrating!

Deli clerk

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits including health, dental, 401k, and employee stock ownership.

Cons

You don't make a whole lot of money if you're not in management. You could potentially make up to about 14 dollars an hour as a meat cutter or a seafood specialist but there is a limited number of those positions. Most people are hired making about eight or nine dollars an hour. Good raises are hard to come by. You really have to bust your butt and the sqeaky wheel definitely gets the oil. What's really frustrating is that most of the time while your working your butt off everyone else is doing the bare minimum.

The atmosphere was always upbeat and positive. Management truly cared for their employees and went out of their on occasion to help out. There are also plenty of opportunities to advance your career within the company. Many members of store management began their careers with Publix in a part time role and worked their way up to their current position.

Cons

Sometimes find yourself spending long days doing repetitive work.
