Pros

I would defiently say the best reasons to work for Publix is for the benifits. The health insurance is not only cheap and affordable but also good. I have worked for 5 companies in my life and they were by far the best and cheapest.

Cons

It is hard for most employees to get full time employment. I was able to get full time because of the position I was in but if you are looking to do cashier or bagging you will never see full time. Everyone I worked with only could get around 20-25 hours. If you get close to full time they cut you back a lot.

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.
