Pros

There are no perks or pros to this job

Cons

Too many hours and inconvienet scheduling. The management was awful and constantly ask you to work way too hard for too little. They also ask you to perform too many tasks at once at lightining speed. Incredibly stressful environment and constant extensions to your work shift while i was there i have come in several times to what i thought was a six hour shift and ended up working 10 hours with a thirty minute break inbetween for lunch. The management was the worst they constantly berate you for the smallest error and they never help with anything and dump there work on you. Also the other associates would gossip more than the gossip girls and these were grown men mind you. They also make you take long lunch breaks that are four hours so you can come back at eleven o clock to finish the midnight leveling and you dont even have a say in the matter they also dont even give you overtime. My manager once took myself and two other coworkers into his office to berate us for going over hours when he schedules us to work them. They will also call you in on days off so you can come in even if you have worked everyday for a week and then you get one day off. The pay is garbage and you can barley live off of it. They are also very inconsiderate of any stickiness abd illnesses that you may have and will tell you to suck it up If you are applying for a stock clerk position in miami lakes be warned

Pros

The pay is good, especially if you don't have a college degree.

Cons

Constant cutting of resources impacts quality, morale and customer service. Very little authority to make decisions and those that you can make are always second-guessed. The company is very cliquish. If you aren't one of the right people, your career will stall regardless of how hard your work.

Pros

Publix is a great company to work for! It is a great atmosphere, generally great attitudes. They give you stock just based off of working there, that you get to keep if you stay with them for 3 years or more. You get dental and vision benefits being a part-time and have the opportunity to work towards getting health benefits as well. You are almost always guaranteed a minimum .25 cent raise every 6 months for your evaluation.

Cons

It is retail. Hours can be long and enduring, difficult to have time off at the holidays since help is more needed.
