Publix reviews

I cant think of many reasons why I dont hate this job. Unprofessional management, noone ever knows whats going on. Doesnt matter which store, because Ive worked at a couple different ones. Terrible rude customers who look down on you. Bad job for anyone with anxiety, but they do a personality questionnare on the application that look for soft spoken people who tend to have anxiety so they know the employees wont talk back. And the TALK and GOSSIPING throughout the entire company is worse than high school. They tease you with a lot of hours when you first start, cut them SIGNIFICANTLY for three weeks, and just when you start to say thats it and look for another job, they put you on a bunch of hours out of nowhere and work you to death. Its very difficult to have a life outside of publix bc they expect publix to be your life and constantly call you on your days off. Its difficult to get fired so you could work with highly unreliable lazy people. All in all its the most trapping job I have ever worked.

Managers treat you like slaves. It is not at all what they promise. I worked 3 years busting my back for the company, I had to fight for full time even though I earned it. It normally takes any where from 3-5 years to get full time and "that's just the way Publix is"...unless you know someone. You get great time off but requesting it is like pulling teeth, always a problem. They also expect you to never be sick even though your allowed certain sick days. Its not at all a family environment. The favoritism is disgustingly obvious and again its who you know not what you know. I passed the managers test with flying colors and was told I was more likely to get promoted because I am a woman. But then I did not show up the day after Irma which erased the 6 days straight (50hour week) I pulled right before. Its just never enough for the narcissists that manage the place. And HR doesn't exist in this company. I called everyday like 5 times for 2 weeks straight and left messages to report the hostility I received after upsetting the store manager. Its sad, I was so passionate to be apart of such a successful company, but if they don't do something about their middle managers the company will not last. No one will line up to work for a company who only provides part time jobs and also treats their people like dirt.
