Publix reviews

You are either a career seeker in Publix or you are deemed essentially a "short-timer". Prefential treatment is given to those who confess they would like to sell their souls and be a part of management. Incompetent associates throughout the store. No training in your department of hire.( After the 2 day basic orientation at the factory that covers only the appropriate ways to deal with customers) Department rivalry/animosity is very petty. Constant bickering between store managers and department managers makes the other associates confused on proper policy. About 2/10 customers are very rude and will at times embarass you. Store Managers become a hated part of the job, regardless of department, because they are very superficial with customers and demanding. Weekdays are generally slow.( Have to clean entire department twice because you don't have to deal with customers).

Extra restrict on attandance , dress code policies. If your shift starts at 10 and you clock in at 10:03 your cinsidered late. The store managers don't care about employees at all. All they care about is to look good in front of CEO and their supervisors . Absolutley no consideration when it comes to one's personal life. They dont care if your sick all they care is if you are going to make it for your next shift and if you know anybody who can cover your shift. You get no praise when you go over the line to do something THEY are suppose to do.They can't even provide you with hours and you are expected to show up whenever they call you to go to work even if it's your day off and when you don't you are considered "not flexible" . And if you dare to let them know about how you feel you are named "rude" and you have "attitude" problems. I am absolutley done with publix and I tell you make sure you get to know your store manager as well because if you are a tech that means you have to deal with TWO managers and not just one compared to other people.
