Pros

I have worked for one of our many competitors and I can not begin to say or explain how great this company is, not only do you get four bonuses a year but also you get a holiday bonus and 8 hour extra for 6 holidays for full timers, part timers get all the bonuses plus insurance and stock plus a 401 (k) alot of benefits that you cant get anywhere else as a part-timer you can get here.

Cons

Rude costumers but there is one of those everywhere you go and just about any business you work in. Holidays are crazy and busy but the rewards are worth it.

Pros

I worked for Winn-Dixie 11 years, Publix is way better. Higher pay than others. Great Benefits. Excellent job for someone with no degree to make decent money.If your in the right store with the right manager you are set.

Cons

My department does not have that many associates, and are too cheap to higher trained meat cutter. So we are short on help and asking my meat manager for time off is as painful as going to the dentist. But it depends who you work for. Getting full time is almost impossible. My wife has tried for two years with promises and no luck. Again, it just depends if your at the right store at the right time and who your manager is.

Pros

Salary, benefits, opportunity. Publix has stayed true to the ideals of its founder, George Jenkins, for the most part. The people you work with become like your second family.

Cons

IPLH. We are almost IPLHing ourselves out of the customer service business. Corporate management is slow to respond to changing demographics. Corporate is very slow to listen to retail, but retail is usually right most of the time.
