management seems to all be hired from within, and they respect "grunt workers". Working conditions are the best in the industry

Low starting pay, finicky annual reviews. some management decisions seem capricious and arbitrary. short staffing situations often result in unscheduled overtime

Pros

Don't need previous job experience. Pay is above minimum wage. Have the opportunity to work more hours. If full time, you can get benefits and shares of Publix stock.

Cons

Changing your availability is difficult if you're in college. Certain departments, such as the bakery, have the least amount of employees, making it difficult to take time off if sick or taking exams for school. Long hours, sometimes without a break.
