Everything about Publix has a Catch to it.
Pros
The good things about working at Publix is that It's a job, it helps you get by a tiny bit, you gain experience whether negative or positive, you learn to either move on to something better or if you're highly favored by management, you get promoted quickly, I'd say from 1-2 years, you'll get to be an assistant manager(I've seen this with my own eyes). And lastly, they have benefits available for part-time and full-time employees.
Cons
Publix has been cutting back on benefits. This year, they took away holiday bonuses from both full-time and part-time employees. So the benefits are not guaranteed to full-time or part-time employees. On top of that, everything about Publix has a catch to it, for example, it's a good company but, the benefits aren't guaranteed, and your potential to grow within the company is all based on if the store manager "thinks" not know "thinks" (there's a difference between knowing and thinking.) You're the right fit, which allows room for the store manager to play EXCESSIVE favoritism towards employees. The company is great, BUT!!!!! It "depends". A lot of these managers who are managers don't even deserve to be in leadership positions because they don't lead by the right example. Too many managers , but extremely few leaders in management. My rating on Publix is based on my experience. Other people might rate Publix well because they were favored highly by managers. You'd have to see for yourself if the managers line you enough.
