Good opportunities for little compensation

Pros

I had one great boss that let me take over responsibilities in the Floral department, which is very enjoyable. Automatic raises were nice but I never got anything else even when taking over extra-role responsibilities.

Cons

when you have a bad manager, there is essentially no course of action. I came close to leaving my job because of bad management and ended up changing departments. I worked here when I was young and took over extra responsibilities to get experience and was never compensated properly in pay.

Pros

Great company, nice people, good policies, and the chance to advance if you're lucky.

Cons

A lot of bad people get into Publix and a lot of managers won't do anything about them. They also cover up their "promote from within" by hiring people they want to promote as the bottom and promoting them within a few months. I've been asking what I need to do in order to be promoted many times, only to be shot down in favor of somebody who got hired way after me. It kind of goes against what they promote in the stores.
