Pros
Clean stores, loyal customer base, and (so far) stock is still purchased for full time and many part time associates.
Cons
No overtime allowed, No more bonuses, Few benefits for part timers, Decreasing benefits for full timers, Growing too fast, Untrained store level management, Tyrannical Corporate Level Managers with no sympathy for their employees. The pay isn't very competitive and with the removal of inventory bonuses (which even part timers got), there is no reason to choose Publix over other retailers. If you can get higher pay at Publix, go for it. However, don't expect respect, understanding, or even professionalism. New CEO (who gave himself a 56% raise, while effectively cutting all retail associate pay), new leadership, new rules, and less benefits.
