      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Publix provides a flexible schedule between 5am - 11pm. It's a fun job. Creative. Nice environment. Good customer service training. Ability to switch departments. After a year you can get health insurance if you work 30 hours a week.

      Cons

      Understaffed. Unrealistic expectations from corporate on productivity goals. Low pay. Obtaining full-time is very difficult. Weekend are very stressful with long hours because not enough employees are scheduled to handle the volume of cake orders. Often asked to stay late on weekends.

      Everything about Publix has a Catch to it.

      Pros

      The good things about working at Publix is that It's a job, it helps you get by a tiny bit, you gain experience whether negative or positive, you learn to either move on to something better or if you're highly favored by management, you get promoted quickly, I'd say from 1-2 years, you'll get to be an assistant manager(I've seen this with my own eyes). And lastly, they have benefits available for part-time and full-time employees.

      Cons

      Publix has been cutting back on benefits. This year, they took away holiday bonuses from both full-time and part-time employees. So the benefits are not guaranteed to full-time or part-time employees. On top of that, everything about Publix has a catch to it, for example, it's a good company but, the benefits aren't guaranteed, and your potential to grow within the company is all based on if the store manager "thinks" not know "thinks" (there's a difference between knowing and thinking.) You're the right fit, which allows room for the store manager to play EXCESSIVE favoritism towards employees. The company is great, BUT!!!!! It "depends". A lot of these managers who are managers don't even deserve to be in leadership positions because they don't lead by the right example. Too many managers , but extremely few leaders in management. My rating on Publix is based on my experience. Other people might rate Publix well because they were favored highly by managers. You'd have to see for yourself if the managers line you enough.

      Pros

      This is one of the better companies to work for. Very flexible and willing to work with you. It's easy to move up in this company as long as you are willing to work for it.

      Cons

      Lack of hours in a department depending on the week. If you are part time, you may not get all the hours you desire.
