Pros

* Perfect student job because they are very flexible with work schedules * Pay is good for what it is * if you stay long enough (over a year) you will get the quartely bonuses given to all associates(higher selling stores have higher bonuses) * Stock options given to all associates who stay long enough (again over one year)

Cons

*ALOT of work.... its not rocket science but there are no breaks while youre on the clock * Odd hours (i closed the store every day i worked 3pm - 12am.... rarely got to leave before 12) * ^ This as because the stock clerk have to fix or level all the aisles before getting to leave at night * I thought of it as being the managers hands in a sense because they cant be everywhere all the time to deal with the store so they hire us to do the tedious things (I.E. filling shelves, unloading trucks, making bales and leveling) * Needs to increase pay raise rate for higher performers instead of giving $0.5 - $0.25 give $1.00 or more to the people who are there a long time and perform well

Pros

Pays very well compared to other grocery stores Most work is pretty easy Good place to make a career out of if that is what you want Good benefits A lot of staff so workers are rarely overwhelmed even on holidays

Cons

A lot of cleaning, namely of public bathrooms which can include vomit/feces-not fun. Meetings are usually pointless and repetitive

Pros

Publix has benefits for part time as well as full time, great customers, and co workers. requesting time off is never a problem. Management is always willing to work with you

Cons

hours are terrible you might work early one day and late the next or for part time you could be scheduled 15 hours one week and 30 the next no consistency. They do not give coffee breaks. If you are lucky enough to get a coffee break they will call you right back after 2 minutes if there is a line. Sometimes even for part time you will get scheduled 10 hour with only 1 hour lunch and no coffee breaks makes a real long day in between.
