Not bad for a first job
Cashier (Former Employee), West Palm Beach, FL –
Pros: benefits and good people
Cons: management, couldn't move up
Good people, but horrible management while I was there. Got pulled back in to the office to get yelled at because I complained about a 30 minute shift. Would work there again, but not at the same store.

Low wages a lot of work to be done little advancement.
Grocery Service Representative/Customer Service (Former Employee), Orlando, FL –
Pros: reliable, great scheduling, great with college
Cons: long days, sickness/call outs are huge hassel
Worked little over 2 years with Publix and although I did enjoy helping customer and doing my job. There was little room for advancement even after being trained for everything up to a management position they decided it would be cheaper to allow me to do the extra work with no increase in pay/ or advancement. Co-workers were by far the best thing everyone – more...  is nice a friendly easy place to start working. Management was very difficult/complicated as they are always moving managers around and most people after being promoted end up getting a demotion because of an unfair accident. – less

What you make it..
Customer Service Staff (Current Employee), FL –
Pros: very secure, lots of benefits, corporate very involved with the stores it seems
Cons: high maintenance customers, the job can get painfully boring, some politics are involved
Great place for a first time job or a career. I've learned a lot that will benefit me in my future career choices. The job can be pretty tedious. If you just give in and take some pride in your job though, it can actually be fun at times. The rumors are true, the benefits are amazing. Absolutely take advantage of the 401k and the Publix stock! You get – more...  free stock and if you put some of your bonuses towards buying more you will really make out in the end. Same with the 401k. Don't neglect it! – less
