Pros

Nice co workers Friendly customers Customers are satisfied

Cons

I have been with Publix for 1year and a half now and have been begging to recieve hours to qualify for medical insurance I am autistic and I have to better myself in life and not rely on others to do this for me and with the hours I recieve at publix it will never happen it's sad to think I have asked time and time again to each manager and remind them of this just so they can give me the hours I'm a hard worker I do my job and I do it 100 percent but I still struggle with maintaining the hours please help me if I can't afford my medication it can be very disastrous.

Pros

You are in charge of your paycheck. What ever you can run determines your check. I was easily making $40+ running a 160. Most days I would clock out with 180-190 also making around 47 an hour.

Cons

Not too many cons. Only thing is it’s a physical job and no set schedule.but in the plus side you get your rest.

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.
