Pros

Publix has benefits like stock, dental, health, 401k.

Cons

I work for Publix part time and go to school. My manager lied to me to reel me in. She promised me a $15 raise, full time, and flexibility...........LIE! She told me she want me to choose between school and publix. I stopped going to nursing school. I found out she only was teaching me a new position until they find someone else. They moved me and this other girl all around the store because we were hard workers and we were short employees and good workers. Now its been 3 weeks with 0-6 hours. The other girl left and this is how they do there valued employees! Modern day slavery I know people that's been working there for 7 years and is finally at $11 an hour. That's what I started off with.

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.
