Pros

Publix has a terrific retirement program among other benefits and offers ample vacation time to store managers. Even down to young front-service clerks, free stock and tuition reimbursement are available. Quarterly bonuses are a regular cash-flow for all employees who work 1000 hrs per year. Health insurance for employees working 30+hrs/wk. Friendly work environment and great upper-management, company is going in the right direction.

Cons

It takes many years to work up to the store manager level, often requiring years of service as a cashier, then office staff, then team leader, then assistant dept, then dept, then assistant store, finally store. But the compensation amounts for each are relatively strong, without requiring a degree.

Pros

Benefits you recieve are a big plus, but usually takes a year to be able to start recieving them. They give you pretty good training and are very clear on what you should do and what you should not do. On your break you can eat Publix subs, which are amazing!

Cons

Very low stating pay, hours given out are often unfair and it is very hard to take time off, and even if you are very sick they still want you to come in. If you are not on the managers good side then you often have to work the hours no one else wants to work.
