Pros

Publix offers a great place to start working. I was employed with this company as my first job back when I was still in school and it was a relatively low stress job with a decent paycheck. One of the best aspects of this company was the fact that management was more than willing to listen to employees and work around schedules. As long as you gave whoever you reported to notice of your needing time off in a decent amount of time, you would be guaranteed to have that time off on your schedule. Additionally, upper management was very friendly and surprisingly knew many of the employees by first and last name, even if they weren't one they directly supervised.

Cons

This was not a job one would want to make a career out of . It was a decent part time job, but someone working full time would likely quickly get tired and look for other work opportunities.

Pros

If your upbeat and pretty, you will move up in Publix fast. I've gotten the highest raises and I'm one of the youngest employees. It can be very challanging and rewarding to work for publix.

Cons

Some of the customers are rude and obnoxious. You have to push to sell money for charities and it's really a hassle and makes me uncomfortable. It can be so busy, and easy to give people extra or too little change and when your short they do not put up with it. Many of the men at publix are creeps. I've had to go to my managers multiple times to have them take care of situations that I haven't been comfortable in.

Pros

I would defiently say the best reasons to work for Publix is for the benifits. The health insurance is not only cheap and affordable but also good. I have worked for 5 companies in my life and they were by far the best and cheapest.

Cons

It is hard for most employees to get full time employment. I was able to get full time because of the position I was in but if you are looking to do cashier or bagging you will never see full time. Everyone I worked with only could get around 20-25 hours. If you get close to full time they cut you back a lot.
