Pros

Stock benefits. If you enjoy the job advancement is easy

Cons

Publix makes you believe your working at the best company till you look back and realize that they are not really any different than any basic retail company, just better at making you believe it.

Pros

14.00 an hour,full time paid every week

Cons

Not a set schedule , definatly not family mind set, half to wait a Year for most benefits. Med / den/vision are only afforable if single. They charge per week so va family of 3 is looking at 280 a week ! You end up being charged 300 in taxes a week and then asked to donate to united way so you can pay companies quarterly taxes....Management opprutunities are only available if you are willing to work non stop with out any "attaboys". Dont work Deli if you prefer to have a personal life. It's near impossible to make full time if hired part time. If your a good worker they will expect you to wear many hats and expect you to just take the abuse because turnaround for deli is like 70 percent.

Pros

Gifted stock even though this is Publix run stock and they themselves manipulate and measure its assigned value.

Cons

Cult company mentality bordering on psychotic. No true open door policy, you will be retaliated against should you bring to light any issues that don't paint your managers in the best light. Rules are for some not all, if you are in favor rules don't apply. The truly worst part is lying to all associates and selling them a dream long forgotten about retiring very well with Publix through stock. They have and will continue to slash benefits and despite deep company reserves, will remove your bonuses and lessen hours to meet an ever receding matrix that you can never catch. They have and will continue to lose many good workers but this appears to be a strategy as good workers cost more hourly.
