Pros

Publix offers some of the best employee benefits and customer training services in the business. Likewise, the employees - regardless of level - are treated fairly and equally. Even at the lower-status jobs everyone is treated well. The employee-owned stock options are excellent as well, meaning managers, cashiers, and truck drivers all have a secure future.

Cons

At first you feel like you are working for "the man" at such a large company until you realize that Publix has a very "local" feel to it. Customers know you by name, and district managers are often conversational with the most entry-level employees.

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.
