Pros

Benefits, pay and some of the great people you meet along the way.

Cons

Management is a joke. Working there for years and busting my rear end to get promoted while working circles around lazy full time employees and getting no where. My fault is that I wouldn't brown nose. I believed in hard work and standing up for what was right or wrong. But they only want to promote people who are about kissing upper management rear end rather than employees who put in the hard work.

Pros

Great Benefit of Stock Options

Cons

Health Coverage Benefits has been declining these past 10 years. The metrics of the length of phone calls outweighs the importance of first touch resolution. Some Supervisors care more about gossiping than becoming positive leaders within the department. Upper levels of ISCS are overworked. Favoritism is normal in all workplaces, however once a lie spreads its like wildlife in that department. Without upper ISCS management approval, you are not allowed to apply for other IS positions within Publix although you may be qualified. Publix CEO Todd Jones gives himself 56 percent pay ($730,000 pay raise) increase in 2016, and $2.476 million as ending 2017 salary and employees have had major hits to employee-owned stock this past decade with hardly ANY pay increases.

Pros

Great benfits, employee owned, great stock investment opportunities, a little better atmosphere

Cons

Too many company changes in recent years, too many pay scale changes, no more holiday bonuses, too much micromanagement, slowly losing overall family value once held in the past, high turnover rate for employee's and managers, long work days with nowhere near the proper compensation , personal life outside Publix almost means nothing
