Pros

Part-timer associates at Publix are given the ability to set their hours upon date of hire. Part-Timers and Managers within the same department have each other's backs. Weekdays are generally slow.(Don't have to deal with customers).

Cons

You are either a career seeker in Publix or you are deemed essentially a "short-timer". Prefential treatment is given to those who confess they would like to sell their souls and be a part of management. Incompetent associates throughout the store. No training in your department of hire.( After the 2 day basic orientation at the factory that covers only the appropriate ways to deal with customers) Department rivalry/animosity is very petty. Constant bickering between store managers and department managers makes the other associates confused on proper policy. About 2/10 customers are very rude and will at times embarass you. Store Managers become a hated part of the job, regardless of department, because they are very superficial with customers and demanding. Weekdays are generally slow.( Have to clean entire department twice because you don't have to deal with customers).
