Pros

Flexible hours, stock plan, great employees.

Cons

The hours vary wildly and are extremely inconsistent. There are some weeks that I work 12 hours, and some where I work 40. Despite the complaints about low employee hours, the company hires more staff, resulting in fewer hours for current employees. I would also note that Publix does not like to hire full time employees, and making full time is more difficult than it should be.
