Pros

you get a good amount of hours-i was in high school and on two varsity sports teams while working there and still received a good 20+ hours per week.

Cons

They expect you to have a huge grin (not exaggerating) on your face while bringing in grocery carts in 90+ weather. Very picky about bathroom cleanup. I once had to call out because I was in the hospital and I was yelled at and hung up on. I spent the next hour crying. I was once screamed at by a manager because a can of tuna wasn't pulled up-I wasn't even the one who was supposed to be leveling that night-I was on a register until closing.

Pros

Publix provides associates with great compensation, they promote from within always! At the end of the year Publix gives you stock based on what you make each year. The percent changes but usually about 8% of what you make will be invested in publix stock at not cost. They have all kinds of different job types something for everyone.

Cons

You always have to work around the holidays, no vacations. At times you will miss things with family on the weekends since you'll be working. It's very hard to get fired or demoted at publix unless you steal or do something really immoral. You will end up working with people who could care less.
