Good Enough - Seafood Clerk Publix Employee Review

• Your manager will change every 6 months • Some managers shouldn’t be managers • Part-time employees are viewed lesser, even if they can work circles around full-time employees • Pay is terrible; I am maxed out and Costco, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target starts at a higher pay than my maxed out pay. – I really should leave • No Employee discounts like Publix’s competition • Publix takes pride in its stock, but if you quit within 3-years it is not really yours and the company takes it away. • At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic if you attempted to ware a mask at work, we were told to take it off or go home. • Publix pretended they care about employee safety regarding COVID-19, but they never enforce face masks, and did not require customers to wear them during a time employee were required to wear them. If you deny a customer service that is not wearing a face mask and they complain you will be talked to about how you should not refuse customer service. • You only get a 3-minute grace period for being late, but they will be allowed to work you an unlimited amount of time after your shift was supposed to end. • Publix has no 10-15-minute paid breaks. • You can work 6 hours or more without a break and it will be considered normal. Other companies require breaks before the 6th hour mark. • Publix has loosed up the dress code recently, but they fired a guy for having a man-bun. He was a 10 out of 10 worker fired for his hair. I once was yelled at because I did not have a buzz-cut. • I have worked at Publix for 5 years. I have seen people been discriminated against because of race and sexual orientation. • If you arrive early at work and ring the doorbell to get in and you wait forever for someone to open the door then you are still considered late. • If you get off work at the end of the night and you are waiting for they MIC to let you out and lock the door behind you while you are clocked out then you are not getting paid for 10+ minutes you being forced to stay in the building. • I got a COVID-19 test when I was sick and waited to return to work until it came back negative. I was told the missed days will count against me in my next review. Not like I am able to get a raise anyways. • If you are a part-time employee, they will refuse to train you for higher paying positions, such as cutting meat or cheese specialist unless you go full-time. Even if you work in the same department and have been with the company forever. • Full-time employees are required to commit their life to Publix being available anytime except two weekdays.
