Pros

Other people might say the best reason to work for publix is the pay and benefits but for me it the feeling that I belong to something great and can help make it better by my actions. It's also a good feeling to help a customer plan a meal and know that they are going home satisfied!

Cons

As it is with any job stress is a factor but it will not effect you if you can find that happy medium and balance your work and home life, if you don't have that you will never be happy at either!

Pros

Publix offers some of the best employee benefits and customer training services in the business. Likewise, the employees - regardless of level - are treated fairly and equally. Even at the lower-status jobs everyone is treated well. The employee-owned stock options are excellent as well, meaning managers, cashiers, and truck drivers all have a secure future.

Cons

At first you feel like you are working for "the man" at such a large company until you realize that Publix has a very "local" feel to it. Customers know you by name, and district managers are often conversational with the most entry-level employees.
