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.

Pros

Good compensation including not just standard pay, but also end of year bonus 80 hours for hourly associates, 8% of your annual earnings granted to you in free company stock thru which quarterly dividends are paid, ok 401k, and gift card and other associate coupons. Good stability and growth. Good company culture.

Cons

Can be slow and resistant to change. Uses some antiquated systems and software that should have been replaced years ago. Does some things that don't make sense. Some managers can be good, while others not very good. Although these cons may be true for a lot of companies. All roads eventually lead to Lakeland where they are headquartered. Geography can be a big one if you are not a Florida native. If you don't want to live in Florida for some legitimate reasons, there can be limited job options in other states, especially if you aren't interested in retail or warehouse jobs. Standard retail negatives about not having a lot of holidays off.
