Pros

The benefits of promotion are very good if you decide to move up - Publix has consistently been on the 100 best companies to work for list because of the above average benefit compensations.

Cons

A lot of coworkers bring a bad work ethic, drama, and unprofessionalism. And unfortunately, a lot of customers treat you badly as well, and you are expected to just take the disrespect and rudeness and not say anything about it, basically leaving your dignity at the door, which is unfair.

Pros

Strong values, if you are high up in the company, you are well taken care of. Can be a fun atmosphere depending on managers.

Cons

Almost impossible to get promoted once you reach a certain pay rate. Time spent working there doesn't matter, you will lose hours once you are paid higher than minimum wage.

Pros

I enjoy meeting new people and waiting on regular customers; I can easily anticipate what they need. The team I am working with is wonderful, especially our department manager and assistant manager.

Cons

Advancement is offered to qualified full-time associates who submit a Registration of Intent; if there are no full-time spots in the store where you work, you cannot apply for a management position.
