Pros

Nice neighborhood and mostly friendly customers -although they are now spoiled by years of ass-kissing by the manager.

Cons

For such repetitive work, the equipment sucks. It is outdated and the constantly breaks and NEVER, EVER is a new CPU replaced or anything else. OASIS scheduling will be the downfall of good customer service and taking employee morale down with it. The pay stinks and the bonuses are not divided very equitably even though we all do the same amount of work. Customer service folks think that cashiers are very beneath them and you have to beg for a ten minute break. Publix is not much fun to work at as it is a stuffy environment and very uncreative in many, many ways....

Pros

The pay for managment used to be the best in the industry.. afte the bonus cut 5 years ago pay has dropped but it is still good.

Cons

benefits are down and equal to burger king, the average manager divides their pay by actual houors work will figure that they only make 14hr. profit sharing has reduced every year and the esop program stolen. no respect for associates. if you need two days off or need to see your family then prepared to pay the price. managment is lazy and expects all the under trained associates to get it. managers lie about training to make their numbers looks good. company doesnt provide time to train in productivty goals. associates are only allowed a three percent raise no matter what they do....... their is no exceptions.. company always sends out memos that too many associates are given to high ratings and will expect better raises. benefits package gets cut and the company tells about some other great thing to take the focus off it. Managers are allowed to harass associates about illnes. Associates are allowed to be blackballed after they try ti stand up for themselves. company engages in inter office campaigns to sell how much you love us to ourselves..

Pros

Great place to work on the side of another job/ career Most people that work there are genuinely nice Hours can increase dramatically each week Great environment and easy-to-do working experience

Cons

Low 6 month bonuses( $.15 per 6 month period) * Yeah really just 15 cents!!! The dedication toward being friendly with a smile can make employees fake and not genuine.If you are part-time hours per week can range from 4 to 32 hours. If there is a lot of people in your department expect low hours. No way to get promoted.
