      Pros

      -The ability to climb the ladder is entirely dependant on your work ethic and not social status. -Respect is prominant in the workplace -Pay raises are bi-yearly/attainable at every evaluation -Higher calibe/status customers who are friendly -Understanding management -Flexible shifts for students and those with secondary employment -Every day really is a pleasure!!

      Cons

      -You are held at a higher standard than the local competition so performance is a must -Rules are strictly enforced and if broken, consequences will follow. -Climbing the ladder starts from the bottom, the very bottom for some.

      Don't forget the benefits and stock this company gives you! That adds to your pay! But you will have to work hard for it

      Pros

      Great company with alot of respect towards it's customers, associates, and it's community. So far, Publix has been the best company I have worked for, and I am a hard to please worker! I had to retire from the company due to relocation, and I miss Publix as an employer and a place to shop dearly =(

      Cons

      You will have to work hard to be noticed and get those good raises. The management is old school and you will usually end up at a good ol' boy store, so be careful of discrimination. Corporate will punish discrimination severally, so be sure to keep this on mind.

      Pros

      They give me all the hours I ask for, sometimes more. They know the jobs I like to do and will schedule me for them. They ALWAYS give you the days you ask for off. Pay is better than most kids get at my age. The relationship between management and employees is a friendly one in which we can joke and be open with each other. Management care and congratulates employees on achievements like graduating, getting married, or having a baby. The people who work there are what make it truly amazing. The management REALLY care about what they do. Which makes it easy for me to REALLY care about what I do.

      Cons

      Sometimes the customers can be a little helpless or ungrateful. Sometime we forget that the customers aren't pros on the store like we are and it's aggravating when they ask dumb questions like where is the bread. When the sign says where the bread is. Really is a battle to get carry out. Sometimes you have to ask 2 or 3 times before the customer will let you take them out to their car. It's kind of hard to move up from bagger to cashier, you pretty much have to beg. Sometimes the customers are a little too in your face. It's hard to put up with. The uniforms are a little thick which makes it extra hot in the summer time in florida. also during reviews I feel that they purposely keep the score low so they don't give you a big raise. but that could just be me.
