Business Outlook
Pros
Benefits (stock options and healthcare) and job security. No employees have ever been laid off, including during the recession.
Cons
Everything else. Publix does not invest in any sort of innovative technology. There are still fax machines and type writers in my department. College degrees mean nothing to most managers. They also wait until employees are doing almost triple the workload (and no overtime) before hiring additional support. Since corporate is in Lakeland, most jobs do not pay anywhere near what they're worth. You can make at least $25k more doing a quarter of the work in Tampa. I hope they turnaround fast. Our founder, George Jenkins, would be very upset if he saw how employees are treated now.
