Abusive treatment at the hands of management and corporate

Pros

Wages are high, decide for yourself if it's worth it.

Cons

A culture that was once the gold standard of retail now consists of dictatorial micromanagement, ON AND OFF THE CLOCK. Examples include being threatened with termination if you dare to shop at another store other than Publix, (I thought in America you had the right to spend your own money as you see fit?) in the latest edict from corporate we are not allowed to say "You're Welcome" to a customer. No, I'm not kidding.

Pros

The customers are nice .

Cons

Management plays favorites, you get treated like crap if they don’t like you. Some managers don’t do anything but sit in the office .

They don't care about employees

Pros

Good benefits, job security, and stability

Cons

Very very hard to move up, it's all about who you know and who you are related to to move up. Publix does not care about their employees. You could be in a coma, and missing work will count against you.
