Pros

Publix is very flexible with it's employees schedules. Managers were encouraging and supportive of those employees that were going to school while holding their position. Publix offers great benefits and opportunity for those who are willing to work hard for it.

Cons

The only bad thing I have to say about the company is that some of the more hard working employees were taken advantage that cause frustration for those involved but it rarely happened for it to become a big issue.
