Pros

It’s a job? Employees in the store are pleasant to work with and make it easy to get through the shift/day.

Cons

Do more with less mentality, very low tech hours, lowest pay vs competitors, stock doesn’t perform like it used to so the benefit is minimal, insurance benefits are average, the customer is NOT always right, management hears your concerns but doesn’t listen or do anything about it, continual customer distractions make it SO easy to make mistakes/errors.

Pros

You can meet some nice people or, at least, interesting.

Cons

For a part-time employee to be eligible for medical insurance for the next calendar year, he has to work 1,500 hours the previous year. This is way too much. It used to be 1,000 hours. Publix is NOT *that* interested in their employees. They want the money, money, money.
