Pros

Great place to work. Competent management and most co-workers are sane/competent. Lots of opportunities to advance to management if you are motivated and committed to work. Great benefits such as stock private to Publix associates only, 401k contribution matching (up to $750 a year in Publix stock), and you are given stock in an ESOP every year plus dividends on that free stock. Pay is ok but you'll hit the pay cap pretty quick if you aren't able to move up.

Cons

To even be considered for full time, you must have complete availability for work seven days a week. Disappointing considering I have been interested in FT for the longest time and this new requirement will not make FT possible for me until I am out of school. Boca/Delray area customers are for the most part AWFUL and downright rude a lot of the time. You need to have tough skin and an ability to deflect the nastiness or you will get eaten alive.
