Pros
Benefits are great if you can withstand lowering your dignity to try and climb up the ladder.
Cons
Managers treat you like slaves. It is not at all what they promise. I worked 3 years busting my back for the company, I had to fight for full time even though I earned it. It normally takes any where from 3-5 years to get full time and "that's just the way Publix is"...unless you know someone. You get great time off but requesting it is like pulling teeth, always a problem. They also expect you to never be sick even though your allowed certain sick days. Its not at all a family environment. The favoritism is disgustingly obvious and again its who you know not what you know. I passed the managers test with flying colors and was told I was more likely to get promoted because I am a woman. But then I did not show up the day after Irma which erased the 6 days straight (50hour week) I pulled right before. Its just never enough for the narcissists that manage the place. And HR doesn't exist in this company. I called everyday like 5 times for 2 weeks straight and left messages to report the hostility I received after upsetting the store manager. Its sad, I was so passionate to be apart of such a successful company, but if they don't do something about their middle managers the company will not last. No one will line up to work for a company who only provides part time jobs and also treats their people like dirt.
