      Terrible company that takes advantage of workers

      Pros

      -Decent starting wage -Quick wage increases -Decent benefits

      Cons

      -Sexual harassment -No breaks -Poor training program -Unprofessional management team The Publix I worked for in Virginia took advantage of workers. Staff were given only a 30 min lunch, even if you were assigned a 12 hour shift. I was often stationed by myself and could not leave on time for my lunches due to customers, and was reprimanded for not taking my break on time and management told me it wasn't their problem. I have a documented disability that I provided paperwork for that requested I have a chair near my station due to a spinal injury. I was consistently reprimanded by management for even leaning on the stool if there were customers around. There were always customers! The Starbucks was right at the entrance! In addition, a woman in the bakery department was sexually harassed by an assistant manager to the point of filing a complaint. This assistant manager had a meltdown in the middle of the Publix and broke several items while screaming at her. He faced zero punishment or even a suspension for his behavior, and management tried to assure all the female staff that it was just a "misunderstanding." I quit soon after this incident out of fear and disgust.

      Pros

      Good company overall only if they like you.

      Cons

      My experience at the work place might bedifferent. I w as promised to get a full time position before I was even hired , after 6 months of working they gave me my employee fees back which I was excellent. Long story short, they said they couldn’t offer me the full time. Do I left giving my two week notices . Within two weeks visiting my co worker friend (who never had experience in retail and never worked) , she sai that she was working full time as they had offered to her after I left. She was only there for 3 months which I ended up training. So honesty at this place didn’t exist. After six months and tried going back and no one called me for even an interview. What does that tell you ,? I I’ve up to your own discretion.

      Pros

      Get your foot in the door for medicine, med school, etc.

      Cons

      -over worked -only department in the store that gets a 30 minute lunch break (everyone else gets 1 hour) -no room for growth -stressful and hectic with very little to no support or incentive from higher ups -when you do sell a lot of scripts or sale a lot of over the counter products there’s no thanks or reward just more sales :/ -very overwhelming and immediate management (pharmacists) are disorganized - even if you are part time don’t over work yourself with 30+ hrs/wk. they WILL NOT give you the health benefits and incentives
