      You're On Your Own - Bakery Clerk Publix Employee Review

      Pros

      Most of the store's employees were friendly. Flexible hours especially if you are in school.

      Cons

      - Once the bakery manager leaves after 6pm, you are on your own if you are working the closing shift. - Good luck cleaning up your area while also cleaning up after the messy bakers and cake decorators. - Physically demanding and sometimes very fast-paced due to juggling tasks. - Hard to multi-task and finish your closing duties on busy nights. - You will often be one of the last store employees to leave for the night - Even though you are going to toss out whole cakes and baked goods, you are not allowed to sample them. The company considers it to be "stealing." Good luck trying to tell clients how they taste once they ask you your opinion. Sad.

      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.
