Pros

Great employee programs, Really flexible hours, Decent managers for the most part, Generally Friendly working conditions, Relatively predictable pay raises, Great co-workers.

Cons

Little pricey to eat lunch at the store everyday on a minimum wage (or close to it), Wage caps at a certain point based on job title, Depends a lot on if you get along with you department manager and overall store managers; if you don't transfer to another department or store quickly, Promotions and raises predictable but based on the perception of your work attitude of you boss so favoritism, gossip, and social standing with in your department co-workers means more than actual work, Don't work here if you do not thrive in a High School setting, Some managers will threaten to fire you when you make a mistake even if it did not cause damage to store, customer service or profit, Last but not least NO UNION you don't know how bad you need one till your getting the third degree and your head is on the chopping for making one of those premeditation mistakes.

Pros

They pay more in wages, and give you more in stock than any other retailer. Most associates I know that have left Publix, always come back. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Cons

The customer is always right, and in my job class I see a lot of kissing up to customers we know are in the wrong. Always err on the side of the customer and making them happy, than to do what you think is in the best interest to your bottom line. I've seen many people get away with making these fraudulent returns, but we cannot say anything in a phobia of upsetting a customer.
