Pros

none unless you are management who make bigs bucks, ride on the backs of employees making bonus checks, stocks, etc.

Cons

everything unless you are management who make the big bucks, stocks, quarterly bonus PLUS and all kinds of other money, bonuses etc, 6 figure salary and can treat employees with as much disrespect, harassment and unappreciation as they choose and nothing happens to them, only the employees suffer no matter how great of an employee you are, does not matter how hard you work, , some managers and assistant managers ruin Publix and peoples jobs. Publix Employees are supposed to be OWNERS of the company not employees, but that is not so either. The whole of Publix is a bunch of brainwashing nonsense of which they will defend the mistakes and wrong doings of themselves, the managers, to cover themselves. Disgrace!

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.
