Pros
Pay is high for a retail position, and you're given stock.
Cons
We were expected to be unrealistically friendly (ironically, why many people avoid Publix). We were required to change our passwords for our online schedules once every 3 months, and the password rules were strict (PayPal is nowhere near as strict.) The time system prohibited overtime, and part-timers had to leave when they were scheduled even if the closer still had work to do. Openers would arrive and have to finish closing. When I tried coming back to another store, they wouldn't hire me because the higher ups wanted the position to go to someone who had never worked at Publix. Plus, Publix claims to encourage cross-training and promotions, but good luck getting into another department once you start.
