Pros

Their benefits are second to none as far as supermarket work goes. The advancement is easy for those who put in their time.

Cons

This job requires a lot of heavy lifting. Sometimes there is less than adequate staffing to assist customers with questions and stock the shelves.

Pros

I worked for Winn-Dixie 11 years, Publix is way better. Higher pay than others. Great Benefits. Excellent job for someone with no degree to make decent money.If your in the right store with the right manager you are set.

Cons

My department does not have that many associates, and are too cheap to higher trained meat cutter. So we are short on help and asking my meat manager for time off is as painful as going to the dentist. But it depends who you work for. Getting full time is almost impossible. My wife has tried for two years with promises and no luck. Again, it just depends if your at the right store at the right time and who your manager is.
