Pros
The best reason to work for Publix is the stock. The stock has increased in value of approximately sixteen percent annually. Even though our economy has taken a beating Publix stock has only deprecated a couple dollars. Employees can save stock at no cost to them. Once you have worked for Publix one full year the give to to you. The rate is about ten percent of your salary. If you have an emergency and need to buy a home Publix will allow you to take the stock out. Free Money. Thats never a bad thing. It is a great addition to the retirement.
Cons
The down sides of working for Publix are the long hours and low income. Publix pays its pharmacist a bout five dollars less than the average other retailers. And unfortunately past stock performance is not guarantee in the future. Although your supervisor will tell you that’s what makes the company the best to work for. And I must agree it dose help. When you start as a pharmacist they give two weeks of vacation. Okay that is average across the board. But wait. Keep waiting. A little longer. Okay you finally made it. At ten YEARs you finally are given your third week of vacation.
