Pros

Publix has the best benefits package I have seen in the grocery industry and I was grateful for my 401k and stock option when the economy stumbled. I loved working in the stores that had a store family feel, you can really see why so many families keep Publix in the family. I know lots of couples who've met there and both grew within the company and then bring their children into the company as well. That's a good recommendation when you want your children there as well.

Cons

That family feel has been seeping away as the company grows and there are too many people hired who do not believe in the George Jenkins philosophy. Managers that do not take care of their associates and talk behind their customers back are becoming the norm and it creates animosity and hostility in the store. It seems the company has expanded too fast to monitor these individuals, because this attitude doesn't always show in the numbers.
