      Management is a Joke

      Pros

      Building of relationships with coworkers.

      Cons

      Managagers are required to work excessive hours (over 50 a week) with emphasis on being reminded they are salary employees. Managers are selected through favoritism by the district managers as oppose to testing placement. Bullying occurs is the workplace in a professional format and HR consistently sides with management when it’s brought to light. Employees are brainwashed in thinking they have the best benefits ever but the medical benefits are horrible. Dividend payments are nice but all other benefits are similiar to many other companies who require less time spent on the job. Poor work life balance when working for Pubix.

      Pros

      Having worked hard to reach a management position, the salary, the benefits, and bonuses were great.

      Cons

      If your in management and married your spouse and family will be a hobby. Long and inconsistent shifts will have sleeping through family time. The corporate focus is so strongly on lowering payroll that all employees work harder rather than smarter.

      Publix Employment

      Produce clerk
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - For the most part, easy - You feel part of the family in most stores - The pay is too terrible for what the job requires you do. - VERY flexible work scheduling. Can change workable hours any time (though not advised). Great for any students who need to take a few days off, even in a row.

      Cons

      - Majority of managers are only concerned with themselves, not looking to push for others. - If you aren't perfect, it feels like you are hated. However, often times employees with clearly worse work ethic than you get treated better. It's a roller coaster at Publix. - Promotion is a lottery. Think hard work and perseverance will get you a guaranteed spot in Publix management? Think again! It is an absolute coin toss, and I have seen many great managers get surpassed by complete idiots, because they knew the right manager. - It is a thankless job, unless you are a lucky few with a great manager. They are out there. Don't expect as many compliments as the amount of complaints.
