Pros

The bonuses are very good, as a pharmacist, this is not the norm. Of all the supermarket chains in our area, Publix is the best. For the most part, employees are treated with respect.

Cons

Floating pharmacists are not fairly compensated. Publix does not pay as high a salary as many other companies. Sometimes, customers have unfairly high expectations, and are allowed to treat employees in a shabby manner. That mostly depends on the store manager.

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.
