Pros

Publix is a good company overall. You will get healthcare benefits, you can invest in stocks, and you get a half a year performance review. Depending on the dapartment you work in, that will determine how many hours you will get, and this company is super flexible when it comes to scheduling.

Cons

The downside when it comes to being employed by Publix is the favoritism within this company. Depending on your management team Publix will make or break your working experience. If you are not favored by the management, you will not have a chance to move up, your hours will get cut drastically, and sometimes depending on the manager, they will go so far as to try and get you fired.

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.
