Pros
Health, vision, dental, 401k, free Publix Stock just for showing up and putting in your time, quarterly profit sharing bonuses, holiday bonus, stock dividends! Managers who don't treat you like dirt, some great coworkers, some real cool customers, busy, fast paced environment. I have all those benefits listed above and I am still part time! My managers are great and have taught me a lot of the skills I need in order to move up into management myself. They definitely take the time to teach you what you need to do in order to take care of the customer, and thats what Publix is all about, taking care of the customer.
Cons
It is very difficult to get full time. But if you are Pt and work hard, management will give you more hours than other part timers who may be slackers. No vacation time if you're PT and work 35+ hours a week. Your hours get cut at the end of each quarter if your average is over 35, but will increase back to 35+ once the new quarter starts. Co-workers can be very cliquey. The rumor/gossip mill is similar to that of a high school. Some co workers are also negative, toxic people to be around. Some customers can be downright nasty. The schedule can bit a bit too variable at times (ie Work 3-midnight one day, work 7am-5pm the next day)
