Pros

Publix is a great place to work at because it really feels like your part of a family. The people were really great to work with, from cashiers to managers. You get to interact with many different types of people and customers and there is room to advance. I definetely recommend this because it was really fun and rewarding to work here. The pay is decent and you really do feel like your contributing to something worthwhile. I've always loved shopping here but working here is just as rewarding. It was a tgreat experience and I am pleased to have worked there.

Cons

The negative aspects that are seen when working at Publix are dealing with negative and stubborn customers who believe they are always right and that you are wrong, when maybe that is not the case. Sometimes you have to deal with agitated customers, and it can be challenging because you want to work everything out calmly without any problems from managemnet or whatever. but overall this is seen at all retail stores and is always going to be around. So the pros defintely outweigh the cons in this situation and reccomend it to anyone interested in customer relations and a great place to work at.

Pros

Talking to customer and getting to know their family and it alright with your Manager. Its like a big family that keeps growing and growing . Alsome place to work

Cons

The 10 hours shifts it takes up your whole day . When you get home it time to go to bed, and when you wake up you have a hour or two and it off to work again. Your around your co-workers and customers more than your family.

Pros

Benefits only in my opinion. The money is only good when you get into management as it skyrockets when you make that sacrifice. As for me personally, I had several opportunities to get into management, but I knew I'd be miserable if I did. So I finished up school and just got a new job.

Cons

Retail. Not being an individual. Being treated unfairly if you aren't interested in hunting, 4x4s, fishing, etc. It's kind of a shame especially at the store manager level. When someone is being paid 100,000 a year, they should treat all associates respectfully and I did not feel that from my most recent one. But it really depends on the store.
