Pros

Profit sharing/retirement benefits are excellent. Employee owned company that is very family-oriented and can be fun. Great place for a first job in high school or through college because of the flexibility most store managers give to younger employees. Publix is better than any retail/grocery chain at cleanliness, customer service focus, and shopping experience. I live in NC now and others who have lived in Florida and Georgia miss it terribly.

Cons

Good ol' boy mentality with lots of uneducated management in most stores. I think the company has gotten better at advancing women and minorities, but they still have a long way to go. The corporate office is in Lakeland, which isn't the most progresssive place to be anyway.

Also Publix cares about it's associate unlike other competitors who treat there associates bad.Publix managment wants to always help it's fellow associates to achieve more and to help them move up and will do anything if u are willing to help u out. Publix offers benefits to ALL of it associates including part-timers and u get four that is right four bonuses a year after your first year and as long as u work 20 hours a week. It does not get any better then that
