Pros

Publix offers a great place to start working. I was employed with this company as my first job back when I was still in school and it was a relatively low stress job with a decent paycheck. One of the best aspects of this company was the fact that management was more than willing to listen to employees and work around schedules. As long as you gave whoever you reported to notice of your needing time off in a decent amount of time, you would be guaranteed to have that time off on your schedule. Additionally, upper management was very friendly and surprisingly knew many of the employees by first and last name, even if they weren't one they directly supervised.

Cons

This was not a job one would want to make a career out of . It was a decent part time job, but someone working full time would likely quickly get tired and look for other work opportunities.

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.
