      Publix has provided me the motivation to finish my degree.

      Pros

      Publix worked around my school schedule. They offered fair quarterly inventory bonuses, they had benefits for part timers, and an employee stock plan. The work is ridiculously easy and the base pay is fair.

      Cons

      Management does a poor job explaining to employees why they make decisions, "You dont understand because you're not a manager," is not an acceptable response. Daily tasks divided poorly among various shifts.

      Pros

      Great co-workers, outstanding customer service provided by us.

      Cons

      Teenage supervisors, no clear path to promotion, to much nepotism, reviews that make no sense. They also have you do voice surveys to rate management but do not use the results to improve things. Scheduling is horrible. One week you have 35 hours some weeks 20. When you are supporting a family, it is hard to budget especially when making 8.00 per hour.

      Pros

      If you are ready, willing, and able to completely embrace Publix not so much as a company, but as a lifestyle, you're going to be fine. Think upper-middle-class-white-deed-restricted-community types and you'll get a good idea of what most of the management/upwardly mobile class consists of. Pay is competitive Advancement is easy,...too easy, they keep promoting the unqualified just because they ask for it. Benefits aren't bad, and several can be obtained by part timers.

      Cons

      You will work so many hours, and get off so exhausted, you will have no life There is an "Us and Them" mentality between management and labor. Communication is almost nonexistent What you do off the clock will be weighed and judged just as much as what you do on the clock for purposes of moving up in the company,...and I mean everything, they want a very vanilla sort of person for management. Training is sink or swim. Watch a video, then "There's your job, do it." Management is terribly slow to fix any problem that comes up, and most company systems and policies are horribly slow to adapt. Managers are changed out so quickly, you barely adjust to the last one before there's a transfer and you start over with a replacement,...and they are far from uniform in quality.
