Pros

They pay more in wages, and give you more in stock than any other retailer. Most associates I know that have left Publix, always come back. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Cons

The customer is always right, and in my job class I see a lot of kissing up to customers we know are in the wrong. Always err on the side of the customer and making them happy, than to do what you think is in the best interest to your bottom line. I've seen many people get away with making these fraudulent returns, but we cannot say anything in a phobia of upsetting a customer.

Pros

People are nice. Some have even been very encouraging. The full time employees seem very dedicated. The customers are fun to be around (for the most part)

Cons

The biggest con is the way breaks are administered. There are no breaks, just unpaid lunch where I work. Another person can come in later and get an hour break for even less time. Breaks should be a little more standard, with the understanding that working around crowds will happen.
