Pros

You can get Publix subs or chicken tenders every day if you so choose.

Cons

At my location, managers played favorites. They will schedule people 38 hours just to avoid providing full-time benefits (although, this isn't an uncommon practice at any non-career job in Florida). They would try to make you feel bad if you called out for any reason (including being sick). Management stands around and doesn't do anything unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. They tend to be hypocrites in any number of areas. Lots of other stuff.

Pros

Benefits you recieve are a big plus, but usually takes a year to be able to start recieving them. They give you pretty good training and are very clear on what you should do and what you should not do. On your break you can eat Publix subs, which are amazing!

Cons

Very low stating pay, hours given out are often unfair and it is very hard to take time off, and even if you are very sick they still want you to come in. If you are not on the managers good side then you often have to work the hours no one else wants to work.
