Pros

A few good managers/associates Wish I could give no stars on this whole review.

Cons

Pretty much everything! Awful managers who don’t give a crap about you or even implement the Publix culture. Mr. George would be so disappointed!!

Pros

Can't really imagine why anyone would wanna work here when McDonald's pays more to do less work

Cons

Terrible pay, lazy/rude management, annoying customers. If you're a bagger expect to clean bathrooms and stand in the hot sun all day more than you bag. If you're a cashier expect to get 5 hour shifts with no break standing in the same spot. Takes forever to get promoted. Not worth the pay.

Pros

-The work is easy generally -Pay is weekly -The schedule/availability is flexible if you make it that way

Cons

If you have open availability you get worked to death. Some shifts are 10, even 12 hours, with a 1 hour break and rarely can you go home early. -Managers you like will transfer or quit, sometimes with as little as a few days notice. -Though the work is easy, Publix prefers to hire fewer people so everyone ends up doing a lot of work. -Publix strives too much for perfection and it is unrealistic.
