Pros

Benefits even at part-time, including access to 401K, stock plans, medical, dental, even life insurance for you and your loved ones. Also Publix is very incorporated into the community and itsprograms such as United Way, March of Dimes, etc.

Cons

Part-timers don't get time/half for working holidays like other businesses give... which is annoying. Also, as a part-timer you aren't eligible to move up into management positions.

Pros

-Great product - Good retirement if you get some pay. - Quick days

Cons

- No pay raises - Near impossible standards to be met - enabled customer complain to obtain free product. - Management has limited amount of insight on the efforts of employees, yet has detrimental impact on pay.

Pros

- Founded by a great man with great beliefs - Treat their employees well -- you can get benefits as part time - Always shifts to pick up - Eligible for a raise every 6 months

Cons

- Pay isn't that great starting out - It doesn't matter if you have a legitimate reason or not for being late, late is late; and 5 minutes or 2 hours, they both count equally against you - Some of the things they let customers get away with is outrageous
