Pros

Stable company, generally the management is competent, certainly above average for the industry. Very flexible hours for part-time employees, open door policy with management.

Cons

Long shifts(many times even as part-time I worked up to 11hour shifts), on your feet all day, many high school aged associates,

Pros

Every one treats you like family there. It was very easy to just start working there. Everyone is nice to each other, helps each other out and we all work together.

Cons

I think the only downside to working at Publix is that you don't get employee discount. But that's a minor thing I can overlook. There are many more benefits for working here.

Pros

Met some very interesting people. Had "regular customers," who appreciated my work and knew me by name. Countless times would people come up to me in public and recognize me from work. No set schedules so everyone gets to have random weekends off.

Cons

Some of the customers and managment would ruin your day. When you get a bad manager, or two, or three in the same store, it makes you want to pull your hair out. Most of the people (except for those trying to make a career out of it) have been there 5-20 years and get lazy, including management.
