      Pros

      Benefits. That is about it. You might meet some nice people, but most people aren't happy working there.

      Cons

      Lazy Careless Management, False Promises, Horrible Schedules They say they "hire from within". They really mean they hire managers from other companies, and immediately promote them within a month or 2 of working at Publix. They hire people at higher rates than people who have been there longer, and have more experience. So you will see people come in and not know what they are doing, yet they are making $2/hr+ more than associates who have been there for years. So associates who are making less are teaching the new people who are making more how to work the Publix way.

      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.
