Pros

Pay and Benefits are outstanding and Publix cares about their employees and want lasting relationships with little employee turnover. This is a place that took making employees happy first so in turn they can make customers happy and they are a leader in the business of customer service and won many awards and titles for best customer service, so that tells you how well they treat their employees.

Cons

The hours you can be schedule are not a typical job that works 8-5 but this leads to flexability but can have to start work at 4 or 5am or can leave work at 12 or 1 am but will only work between 8 to 10 actually hours in a given day.

Pros

Good hours, great management, pleasing and friendly environment. Received holidays off, and closed at a decent time. Family friendly company, so worked with your schedule well.

Cons

Doesn't give out good raises, at least as a normal employee. Received .25-.30 raises at a time. Otherwise, not a lot of cons. It's a good company to work for, as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort to go above and beyond, you'll make your way up to management. Don't expect to walk in to publix with a good job, they promote from within, so you'll start low.

Pros

They have great benefits. they promote from within and you don't have to have a college degree. flexibility with hours if you are in school or have another job.

Cons

favoritism, you have to sometimes kiss butt to move up. hard to get full time, they only give to the people they see moving up to management.
