Pros

The people I worked with every day.

Cons

Management looks out for their bonus, to the detriment of entry level employees. Glass ceiling is in full effect at this place, as there is no real chance at advancement.

Promotion time is cut throat

Pros

Great benefits with stock options

Cons

Twice a year Publix management gets together to choose who should be promoted next. And twice a year, the stores become cut throat. Everyone is trying to "stand out" and for some that means trying to take someone down. It can become an extremely toxic environment for everyone. Even those who have no interest in moving up.

Pros

You get decent benefits and competitive pay. In the retail world this used to be a more laid back environment than working for CVS or Walgreens, however as of late, it has started to become a little bit more like the others. I would still say its the least of all evils when it comes to retail pharmacy.

Cons

The usual pharmacy stuff. No lunch break, on your feet all day, long 12 hour shifts. High level of stress throughout the entire day.
