Pros
Benefits are very good with Publix. Stocks, both given and employee purchased. Salaries for supervisors and management are also very good. Friendly employees. Publix hires minors and people with disabilities more than any other company I know of.
Cons
Scheduling is horrific! Many times you will be asked to close the store one night, then open again the next morning, getting little or no sleep. If you are part time, you may limit your availability, but, you will only get a few hours a week. If you offer Publix an open availability, they will abuse your time beyond belief. Inconsistent scheduling. You'll rarely have the same schedule twice. And finally with the implementation of Publix new system, your old job description is tossed out. Cashiers are no longer just cashiers. Now we have to bag, clean, mop, sweep the parking lot, empty garbage, and carry groceries to customer's cars and load them. None of these tasks were ever expected from cashiers before. Publix motto: Increase the workload, but keep the same salary.
