Pros

Good benefits including health, dental, 401k, and employee stock ownership.

Cons

You don't make a whole lot of money if you're not in management. You could potentially make up to about 14 dollars an hour as a meat cutter or a seafood specialist but there is a limited number of those positions. Most people are hired making about eight or nine dollars an hour. Good raises are hard to come by. You really have to bust your butt and the sqeaky wheel definitely gets the oil. What's really frustrating is that most of the time while your working your butt off everyone else is doing the bare minimum.

Pros

The atmosphere was always upbeat and positive. Management truly cared for their employees and went out of their on occasion to help out. There are also plenty of opportunities to advance your career within the company. Many members of store management began their careers with Publix in a part time role and worked their way up to their current position.

Cons

Sometimes find yourself spending long days doing repetitive work.

Pros

Can get extra hours, decent pay, clean environment. Working in the bakery is a great way to interact with customers if you're into that sort of thing. Also, they have regular pay increases, so that was nice.

Cons

Managers are sometimes incompetent. If you have a problem with a supervisor and complain to upper management, you will get nowhere.
