Pros

The stores are clean and the customers are generally from middle class incomes and above. The front end (Customer Service) works hard at checking the customers out of the store.

Cons

Half of Publix workforce are part time employees with nominal wages, no vacation time, no sick time, no holiday pay or no quarterly inventory bonuses. Because of this structure, they can build a company where executives become exceedingly weathy. Pay raises for hourly employees are now limited to $0.15 I have never cleared $300.00 in a week and have worked up to 35 hours. Schedules are always posted at the very end of the week so there is no consideration towards Publix employees who have a life outside of Publix. Publix is the kind of company that you need to start with right out of high school and hang in there until you can obtain full time status and then get into management and work there for 30 years.
