Pros

THERE ARENT MANY PROS TO WORKING HERE ANYMORE

Cons

Company has gone down hill drastically over the past year ... Publix used to care for there employees, but now it all them. I have seen people get hurt at work and they were told to pretty much suck it up because they weren't going to pay workers comp. Employee wound up losing home and family. myself as well as a few other employees tried to help them out as much as possible, but we could only do so much.

Pros

-It's a job. -It does look good on a résumé depending on what industry you are wanting to work in long term.

Cons

-The compensation (or lack thereof) is atrocious -Work/Life balance is virtually nonexistent as this company cares only about the supposed "needs of the business" -Favoritism plays TOO large of a role in whether you succeed or not and advance to a higher paying position -Nearly all levels of management are generally uneducated individuals who fail to see the associates as people, rather than a robot with no feelings - Tons of micromanagement and scrutiny from upper mgmt on the store level and executive alike -Very strict grooming and appearance guidelines bordering on unrealistic -If you do not possess a "cookie cutter" personality and enjoy being told what to wear, how to look like, and EXACTLY how to do things....this may not be the place for you. -Having to work with so many incompetent and lazy people

Pros

Publix really cares about its associates as well as customers. They're very fair and committed to being the very best grocery store offering excellent service.

Cons

Ever-changing schedule each week. No consistency with work schedules.
