Pros
Publix Produce Dept. is among the better areas to work within a store. There is very high standards of quality maintained. I was rather satisfied with my work. Great Benefits, Employee Stock Ownership Program, bonus pay on Sunday, Dental, 401K, Health, and Tuition Reimbursement Program is absolutely great. Awesome opportunity for advancement and professional growth. The manager training program is absolutely great when the position becomes opened. I was promoted to Produce Team Leader within a year. Pay is decent, but not sustainable until Asst. Management position is obtained, but this could take 4 or 5 years. Best thing about Publix is they hire from within.
Cons
I wasn't always too fond of our silly uniforms, or occasional management personnel. At times, the work is boring and redundant, because the company is so structured, that outside ideas are not always welcome. The corporate culture is pretty good, but managerial hierarchy within the chain of command could use a little more horizontal structuring.
