Pros

Publix has great benefits including health insurance, dental and vision. All employees have stock options. The hours are flexible and the pay is pretty good. Work is just that. Work! If you do your job well, you will be rewarded with a pay increases.

Cons

Working on holidays including Mother's and Father's Day. For part timers who desperately need health insurance, they must work 30 hours per week for 50 weeks in order to qualify but most, with Publix cutting back on hours, don't qualify.

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.
