      How are promotions handled at Publix?

      Publix reviews

      Ridiculous

      Anonymous employee
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits that's about it.

      Cons

      The company atmosphere is going downhill due to quick promotions of people that don't care. Prices are going up but my pay is the same. Don't worry my manager gloated to us about his $8,000 bonus.

      Decent starting pay but poor management outlook on workers.

      Deli clerk
      Current employee

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent-ish starting pay If you are part time they work with you very well.

      Cons

      Actively had the Management, and District Management deny raise requests stating every employee isn't deserving a raise due to their own personal choices, and lack of upward mobility. Was told stock options, that you don't benefit till retirement, were more important than affording current living conditions.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Guaranteed hours as a full timer & benefits

      Cons

      You will be overworked. Management will talk to you in an unprofessional manner. They will try to schedule you outside of your availability . There isn’t any real opportunity for promotion without years of doing your management’s job , your job , passing the test , plus the extra waiting period unless you wanna get sent 1 1/2 -2 hours away to be promoted. Unethical & Discretionary management practices Hr & corporate dont do anything they just try to gather information on the situation to see if they can get out in front of it by trying to fire you

      Great way to work up to management

      Deli clerk
      Current employee

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits and path to promotions.

      Cons

      hours can vary too much depending on position.

      Amazing company culture and work/life balance!

      Associate brand marketing manager
      Current employee

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly, team-focused, great training, opportunities to grow and learn, stability.

      Cons

      Far from major cities, limited opportunity for promotions within the same department because employees stay for years.

      Decent pay, great benefits, poor handling of management.

      Bakery assistant
      Current employee
      Birmingham, AL
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Starting pay is usually 14-15 dollars an hour depending on experience, and publix offers a wider variety of benefits than most plus opportunity for promotion.

      Cons

      Normally decent management, but there are next to no repercussions for problematic managers. District managers will often transfer them to different locations rather than discipline them at all, and it will usually take them months to even come to that decision. I am currently working under an assistant manager who refuses to manage their time correctly, and repeatedly puts the entire bakery dept. behind schedule, then blames and aggressively scolds their associates when other managers are not present. Said managers have been made aware of this behavior by everyone in the department since it began three months ago, yet only just now are they considering transferring them elsewhere. This is the second problematic managers that they have transferred since I was employed over a year ago, and this will be my reason for leaving once I find another job.
