Publix Reviews in Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL Area

Pros

The people, the loyalty, the benefits and so on. I feel like this is a great place to work but can be challenging at times.

Cons

Management and management decisions are fishy and not well spoken. Communication is not the company's strong suit and I wish there can be more done.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen and don't lie.

Pros

Easy Work, Very little supervision

Cons

Poor communication, never seen so many unhappy employees

Advice to Senior Management

Get everyone on the same page

Pros

benefits are good, feeling of family.

Cons

needs better communication between management and staff

Advice to Senior Management

Listen and communicate more effectively

Pros

Flexible Hours, good benefits, provided you work 1500 hours per year minimum. credit union, stable employment are the main points. Also the ability to transfer to a store closer to your house or school, etc.. Ability to purchase private stock in company. Publix has a very good open door policy, to talk with management.

Cons

This is recent: very tight on hours, as a part time employee, my hours are down. More expected multi-tasking, which is getting away from customer service. Managers are really overtaxed working minimum 50 hr week, + overtime if another manager is on vacation, plan for a 60 hr week!

Advice to Senior Management

More employees are needed at the store level, specifically for customer service. I actually talked with in person the CEO Mr Crenshaw, He really appreciates hard work and does in store visits on a regular basis.

Pros

I love the awesome working environment. Everyone is very nice and helpful and the customers are usually very nice. The benefits are really good for the position.

Cons

Sometimes the hours are difficult but the managers are very understanding of requested days off.

Advice to Senior Management

Always be open to employee questions/concerns. Reward for good work done.

Pros

awesome benefits for full timers, great managers and schedule.

Cons

as a cashier you have to be on your feet the whole time (as expected) that is the only con i can think of.

Advice to Senior Management

the leadership was great.

Pros

They were very nice and flexible on scheduling. Great, vibrate enviroment. Good management with lots of experience. Great place to work.

Cons

Late closing hours... not that great when you have a child. Always on your feet no matter what job!! That's about it.

Advice to Senior Management

Maybe the company should think about paying more, and requiring less hours for benefits for full time employees, they make it hard to get health care.

Pros

401k match; Free stock; Quarterly bonus; holiday bonus

Cons

No set schedule; Low Pay

Advice to Senior Management

Back the associates better.

Advice to Senior Management

Some managers are great, some are just jerks.

Pros

If your upbeat and pretty, you will move up in Publix fast. I've gotten the highest raises and I'm one of the youngest employees. It can be very challanging and rewarding to work for publix.

Cons

Some of the customers are rude and obnoxious. You have to push to sell money for charities and it's really a hassle and makes me uncomfortable. It can be so busy, and easy to give people extra or too little change and when your short they do not put up with it. Many of the men at publix are creeps. I've had to go to my managers multiple times to have them take care of situations that I haven't been comfortable in.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep it casual and supportive. Just knowing people in the store and interacting makes you less scary and more approachable. There is a lot that goes on in your store that you should really know about but people don't want to tell you because their scared of you.
