Pros
-You can basically do close to nothing for 6 months and still get a raise (So long as you don't do something really stupid, such as steal or lie.) -They won't fire you unless you unless you steal or lie. -Occasional discounts at places if you mention you're a Publix employee (I got a discount on a gym membership.)
Cons
-Management likes to play favorites, and unless you're in their little clique, prepare for a miserable work environment. -If you so much as know how to do a job well (Example: Mop, sweep, etc.) They will call on you to do it whenever you come in or schedule your shifts at times when it is best for you to do that job. -If you for whatever reason screw up even a little in the eyes of the managers, they will do whatever they can to screw with you, such as scheduling you close to no hours, not allow you to move to another department, or make you do things around the store that border on the ridiculous (Example: Cleaning up cigarette butts in front of the store.) -A lot of the people in the store (Managers included) like to gossip and spread rumors as though they were in high school. -The same music plays day in and day out. -Only full-time employees get any real benefits.
