Pros

Fairly easy work being a bagger or cashier Opportunity to move into positions of greater responsibility Great opportunity to be friendly if you like people 401K / employee-only Stock options

Cons

Easy work is mind-numbing/repetitive work at lower levels. Physically unhealthy - My knees would definitely not like me after 8 hours of bringing carts in and standing in the same spot to bag groceries. Publix runs a pretty tight ship. It sometimes seemed pretentious to me. Not great pay or benefits unless you work a certain number of hours per year. Everyone seemed to want/need to work more hours.
