Pros

There are a lot of better jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Management. Young inexperienced management that have no clue what they are doing. They lie to support each other's incompetence. They treat employees badly. I would not recommend working for Publix to anyone.

Pros

Publix in itself is a great company! It has great benefits and also as an associate you can acquire stock with the company which is also a great plus. They actually care. They work with you with scheduling and they make every effort to see you suceed.

Cons

Mirco managing. Micro managing is going to drive the atmosphere at Publix into the ground. They are quick to point out faults but only a select few will make you feel like you are appreciated. It is a great company and the atmosphere with shoppers is undeniably the best, however the atmosphere with the associates needs work.

A terrible place to work for I.T. professionals.

Anonymous employee

Pros

You get to wear jeans to work.

Cons

Overall Publix is a bad place for I.T. professionals. If you want to work in a professional environment with smart people, Publix is not the place. Incompetent, untrustworthy, dishonest, rude, unprofessional IT management. Dishonest, unprofessional to I.T. vendors. Promotions based on who you kiss up to, not based on actual performance. Poor employee morale (you’re expendable, replaceable and treated like dirt). Terrible work-life balance, long hours with no fair compensation. No I.T. talent (all the talent is leaving or has left). High insurance, weak benefits. The cheapest, fastest solution is the best solution. No advancement, management discourages training and you’re blocked from moving into other areas of the I.T dept.
