Pros

Publix offers some of the best benefits in the industry. If you are getting paid $10/hour you are really getting paid close to $15 with the benefits. They provide great training.

Cons

Some of the people in the management are completely incompetent. They should give more hours to good workers and not so many to bad ones.

Pros

Decent starting pay, generally able to get requested time off, my department managers I have now are really good

Cons

Pay raises are small because its the store manager that gives you the raise, not your manager that sees you do the work on a daily basis. Many people stuck in their ways, and if you don't pick up their slack, which you shouldn't have to, it still makes you look bad, even when your doing three people's worth of work. Some managers hate the fact of having emotion in the work place, but were human.
