Pros

Good pay for not too difficult work, Retirement Stock Plan, You can buy Publix Stock and get quarterly dividends, Health and life insurance

Cons

Unfortunately, I work in a department where management contradicts themselves, makes knee-jerk decisions, plays favorites and knit-picks at/blames people they do not like, does not control their emotions, and does not value education. I'm working on an MBA with 4 years in the department and I came in with experience, and was told I was "equal" to 2 younger people without any education and experience -both with much less time in the department. Being in the department I'm in has actually hurt me in transferring to another department. There's not that many opportunities to advance unless the immature supervisors like you and you tell them all about your personal life.

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.
