      Pros

      Publix is a strong company. Nepotism seems to be a pro, as well as a con. Good benefits if you work over 30 hours a week. Publix gives quarterly bonuses, contributes matching % to 401k, and additionally contributes Publix stock to your retirement account - all of these extras are determined by your hourly pay.

      Cons

      VERY difficult to get a full time position; pay and benefits are substantially better for full time associates. It is difficult for part timers to get work hours and the less one works, the less of all benefits above. There is no bonus or stock given if you work under 20 hours a week.

      Great when I started, then found every manager was a snake in the grass.

      Pros

      Great benefits IF you get lucky enough to get fulltime. If you are in with the management they will try to get you promoted to full time or even management. The customers are great for the most part.

      Cons

      Managers do not follow the Publix Mission statement, at least not at my store. You have to argue to get a raise or a transfer if you want to move to a different department. Managers lie to your face and talk about you behind your back. Even after calling the DM or HR nothing is done about serious harassment issues, and if you mention it in store you are considered a complainer and insignificant.

      Pros

      Above average pay for the industry. Great stock benefits.

      Cons

      In order to make a career at publix you must devote a minimum of 50 hrs a week with no set days off and very random shifts.
