Best Part Time Job You Could Ever Get
Oct 16, 2013 - Produce Clerk in Orlando, FLRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Health, vision, dental, 401k, free Publix Stock just for showing up and putting in your time, quarterly profit sharing bonuses, holiday bonus, stock dividends! Managers who don't treat you like dirt, some great coworkers, some real cool customers, busy, fast paced environment. I have all those benefits listed above and I am still part time! My managers are great and have taught me a lot of the skills I need in order to move up into management myself. They definitely take the time to teach you what you need to do in order to take care of the customer, and thats what Publix is all about, taking care of the customer.
Cons
It is very difficult to get full time. But if you are Pt and work hard, management will give you more hours than other part timers who may be slackers. No vacation time if you're PT and work 35+ hours a week. Your hours get cut at the end of each quarter if your average is over 35, but will increase back to 35+ once the new quarter starts. Co-workers can be very cliquey. The rumor/gossip mill is similar to that of a high school. Some co workers are also negative, toxic people to be around. Some customers can be downright nasty. The schedule can bit a bit too variable at times (ie Work 3-midnight one day, work 7am-5pm the next day)

Pay less than Wal-mart, Target, and most other similar stores, but charge customers premium prices
May 22, 2023 - Front End Cashier in Mount Dora, FLRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Sufficient staffing most hours of operation
Cons
Employees are paid much less than current rates in most other less expensive stores. Publix charges premium prices to customers while paying employees less than Walmart, Target, and even Aldi, among other stores. Most employees are payed well below minimum wage, and some have been working with great work ethics and dedication for them for over a decade and still don't make minimum wage. Management is spotty and shifts a lot, often leaving lower mgt positions not truly supervised. There's a pattern of the hard working underpaid long term employees taking up the slack off less capable and less caring enployees that get nearly the same pay. Many class action lawsuits against Publix for not paying fairly. A store that expects customers to pay more for their goods should pay employees better to give customers premium treatment, rather than give employees less than Walmart pay and still expect more from them.
