      Pros

      opportunities to advance and to become more than just an hourly payed employee. i would recommend this company to anyone who wants to become successful and who doesnt mind working hard to achieve their goals.

      Cons

      you have to work hard... however its a good thing to know most people around you are working just as hard it gives you the feeling that this company is going places!!

      Great place to work, too little pay, not enough hours

      Pros

      It really is like joining a family when you work here. I've gotten very attached to my coworkers as well as my managers, and they have all treated me with respect. My managers have been very understand with personal and medical emergencies, and I was able to be promoted very quickly. It is generally a very easy job, and it is a great company as a whole.

      Cons

      Once you make it to customer service staff, it is very hard to get promoted any further unless you have been there for years and years. It is impossible to get full time unless you have been there for years as well, at least in my smaller-sized store. I am very dissatisfied with pay; baggers and cashiers who have been working there for less time are making more money than me, and I only receive 15 cent raises.

      Pros

      Great place to work. Competent management and most co-workers are sane/competent. Lots of opportunities to advance to management if you are motivated and committed to work. Great benefits such as stock private to Publix associates only, 401k contribution matching (up to $750 a year in Publix stock), and you are given stock in an ESOP every year plus dividends on that free stock. Pay is ok but you'll hit the pay cap pretty quick if you aren't able to move up.

      Cons

      To even be considered for full time, you must have complete availability for work seven days a week. Disappointing considering I have been interested in FT for the longest time and this new requirement will not make FT possible for me until I am out of school. Boca/Delray area customers are for the most part AWFUL and downright rude a lot of the time. You need to have tough skin and an ability to deflect the nastiness or you will get eaten alive.
