Cons
Publix has disappointed me. I have been working for Publix for quite some time. Unfortunately, because I'm not super buddies with management or their friends, I always do the work others don't like to do, yet they overlook me. They even compliment my work ethic, yet they don't want to move me up because I have do not have an open schedule like the other "students" that work there. I say this because they barely go to school. I strongly believe that one can excel at work and school simultaneously because I have seen it, therefore I strive for success in both areas. I am honors student with many awards in leadearship and service. In addition, I have received many scholarships for my community and college involvement. Even though, I am highly qualified to become successful at Publix, they seem to deter much growth. I don't understand why I am successful in my community and university, but not at Publix. They only look at the favorites or close family friends to help them move up. I have heard managers talk negatively behind my back and I have not done anything for them to treat me so unfairly. I have realized that unless I want to give up my education, that is the only way I can become successful at Publix because they ARE NOT flexible with students. This company is only for those who do not wish to go to school because only those are allowed to move up. Unless your a business student, the rest can just forget about it.
