      Publix is a company with dignity and passion from a different era that genuinely cares.

      Pros

      Publix is entirely owned by its employees.Each year you recieve stock and dividends. You also recieve two weeks bonus pay for Christmas (after five years), inventory bonus' four times a year and a pretty good dental, vision and medical plan. You are generally treated with respect and common courtesy. For the most part, it is a joy to go to work. Every five years, you are invited to a banquet to celebrate your time with the company. You also get to choose a reward from a catalog. Advancement is easy if you have the desire and the company is financially sound. They are constantly opening stores and expanding.

      Cons

      Publix expects you to place them at the forefront of your life. Being an "owner" (stockholder) of the company, you are expected to be available at any and all times for any task, regardless of your position. With the company expanding as fast as it is, there are times when people are promoted to fill positions who shouldnt be. I worry that with the company becoming as large as it is, that the precepts set forth by Mr. George will soon be cast to the side in the name of profit. God Bless You Mr. George! You are sorely missed.

      Publix: Where working is a great pleasure

      Pros

      Publix is a great place to work at because it really feels like your part of a family. The people were really great to work with, from cashiers to managers. You get to interact with many different types of people and customers and there is room to advance. I definetely recommend this because it was really fun and rewarding to work here. The pay is decent and you really do feel like your contributing to something worthwhile. I've always loved shopping here but working here is just as rewarding. It was a tgreat experience and I am pleased to have worked there.

      Cons

      The negative aspects that are seen when working at Publix are dealing with negative and stubborn customers who believe they are always right and that you are wrong, when maybe that is not the case. Sometimes you have to deal with agitated customers, and it can be challenging because you want to work everything out calmly without any problems from managemnet or whatever. but overall this is seen at all retail stores and is always going to be around. So the pros defintely outweigh the cons in this situation and reccomend it to anyone interested in customer relations and a great place to work at.

      Pros

      Talking to customer and getting to know their family and it alright with your Manager. Its like a big family that keeps growing and growing . Alsome place to work

      Cons

      The 10 hours shifts it takes up your whole day . When you get home it time to go to bed, and when you wake up you have a hour or two and it off to work again. Your around your co-workers and customers more than your family.
