Publix reviews

Long hours early and late Sleep schedule will be something that will take a backseat as far as priorities High stress environment, especially at a busy store Extensive knowledge of product that might discourage some new employees Even though this job may seem easy, it isn't, you will always be working either cleaning prepping or serving. I would not recommend to a college student or anybody else with priorities higher than work. My particular management at my store did not work around my school schedule and would discourage any request for time off or schedule changes. Go into your deli before you apply and meet the deli manager and assistant manager, if they seem like likeable good hearted people then try it and if they don't then don't bother. If applying for the Temple Ridge Plaza Publix take the latter of the two and don't bother.

- Too many expectations for one person and if you don't fulfill every expectation, you could get in trouble (smile 24/7, greet EVERY customer, always look busy, clean, offer to help EVERY customer to their car....and there's even a certain way you have to go about doing that. It doesn't matter if you've done everything you could possibly do/needs to be done, you have to look like you're doing something at all times and trust, THEY ARE WATCHING... so if you don't look busy, you will get in trouble) - Unpredictable hours each week (terrible scheduling...you can get off at 12 am and they'll have you scheduled the following morning for 7 am) - No real "team work" - Many people in leadership positions don't possess leadership qualities (rude, belittling, don't know what they're doing, etc) - Each night, one customer service employee is expected to clean all bathrooms (instead of hiring a cleaning crew) - Rude customers - Working holidays = TERRIBLE
