Pros

decent benefits are available, but health insurance is rather pricey--$450/wk for family coverage. the stock plan is very good: they give you shares of stock in the company just for working there. they give out bonuses yearly, but they are very small for non-management personnel

Cons

there is a HUGE discrepency between management pay/bonuses and non-management pay/bonuses. managers receive minimal training on effective management techniques. management could really care less about employees family/personal needs, but this is common in retail and food service industries.

Pros

Publix credit union, Christmas extra pay. free Flu shot. Some associates do say hello to you. They give free things to you on pay check.sometimes.

Cons

They treat you like a number. Your District Manager talks down to you . up to 3% raise a year maybe. If you are part time you are out of luck. No Ins.You got to work 30 hours a week to maybe get ins.part time. They think all worker will steal. District Manager thinks you lie. Made to feel like you are not important any more. Prices going up ,gas going up more than pay raise. Stop printing out time report with SS# numbers on them all over store.
