Pros

I worked for Publix 10 yrs and was initially impressed how they stressed family and work and the importance of balance. Was promoted quickly to full time and then eventually went on to managment. Able to use experience from previous jobs and met some really great co-workers.

Cons

Very political If you fit into their mold great if you think outside of it not so good. Management reuires you to sign contract to 50 hr week, and chinese overtime(Every hr over you get paid 1/2 your hrly rate and if over 60 hr 1/4 hrly rate) Company no longer seems to value family first it's all about the bottom line. Customer is always right even when they are not and you pay the piper.
