Pros

With the economy up or down it should be a very stable place to work, with not any lay offs in sight.

Cons

The benefits are good but not as good as they used to be in comparison with the rest of the country.

Pros

Publix offers great benefits to full time employees. I love people so its perfect for me. Most employees are friendly. Open seven days and late hours so its easy to get your 40 in. No two days are ever the same. It is nice to feel that you are making a positive difference in someones day.

Cons

Publix seems to promote men more quickly. Minorities also move up fast. The older you are the less they are inclinded to want to invest training in you. Its not impossible to get through all that but you have to work hard and be persistant. The fluctuating hours can be hard on your sleep schedule.

Pros

I sought employment with this company because I needed to provide health insurance for my family. (I had been self employed) I started out as a cashier, went to DSD clerk, then HBC clerk and now grocery clerk. I loved it! I was learning new stuff all the time, the job was fast paced and exciting, always a challenge. My store manager was very enthusiastic and you couldn't help but jump on that train.

Cons

Then I transferred to a different location. The department manager doesn't seem to understand what he's doing and nowhere near as efficient as my previous manager. He is very good at bashing his team. The store manager is rarely seen in more than two locations around the store. Worst thing for me is I've learned nothing new in over a year....feel as though I'm just hanging around putting in the hours.
