Pros

Publix provides associates with great compensation, they promote from within always! At the end of the year Publix gives you stock based on what you make each year. The percent changes but usually about 8% of what you make will be invested in publix stock at not cost. They have all kinds of different job types something for everyone.

Cons

You always have to work around the holidays, no vacations. At times you will miss things with family on the weekends since you'll be working. It's very hard to get fired or demoted at publix unless you steal or do something really immoral. You will end up working with people who could care less.

Pros

If you work hard at Publix you will advance. However, you must perform at a high level over time, like a year and a half. The environment constantly changes so be prepared to adjust. Every quarter, if you are full time, you will get a bonus. Publix also has increased vacation time to two weeks. Good Luck!

Cons

Publix is constantly looking to save money so you might find your hours cut, or having to improvise due to lack of resources. You also will never have a consistent schedule, but that is retail for you.
