I have worked for Publix for over 6 years now they really suck… They put on a front to the public and they treat their employees unfairly across the board… I took the management test (Got a high pass) along with many great employees in the store the only person out of the group that was recommended was the 20-year-old girl that had worked for Publix for about a year and a half and was usually found by the time clock on the cell phone with one of her boyfriends…
They are never really truly happy with your work or you and I hear this from many people. A lot of gossip and a lot of backstabbing… They should be ashamed as a company and I can honestly say they have the most waste and food thrown away I have ever seen in a grocery store… Shame on you Publix!

I totally agree that Publix is an awful place to work. I was a Customer Service Staff for 10 years. Managers disrespect you, they humiliate you and they treat you poorly. When you make an honest mistake they punish you by demoting you to a bagger for a few months so the rest of the store can laugh at you. And all that for 10.40 an hour. I finally had it and walked out on them. I have my life back. Now I know what people mean with being under the "Publix cloud".

I have been in employed at Publix for the past 11 years in the Deli as a part time employee and I love my job. There is always work in the deli whether you open or close, constantly doing something your entire shift. Believe me when I tell you that after an 8-hour shift, all you want to do is sit and not get up. To those employees who are dissatisfied with Publix, leave ... find jobs elsewhere where your talents and hard work will be recognized with rewards of more money and promotions.

You want more hours? Go the extra mile, exceed in their expectations. If you are a bagger or cashier be friendly, smile and thank the customers for shopping in your store. DO NOT complain to your customers about your job and if you take out my groceries out DO NOT make a face if I fail to tip you. If you work in Customer Service, please take care of me promptly and don't let me stand around while there are 3 of you behind the counter. To the associates in the other departments, go up to your customers and ask them if you can help them whether it's picking ripe fruit, a cut of meat or a loaf of bread from the Bakery. Don't stand arount the time sheet browsing how many hours this one got this week and how many that one got.

The managers are that ... Managers. Not your drinking buddies, not your best friends. They are there to run the store, make sure that the shelves are stacked, the store is clean and that the store is ready for busness at 7 am. You can make it in Publix, get good raises and get promotions. Just have to work hard and not just be an average employee. No matter where you work, there will always be employee complaints about their boss, their co-workers and the job but I have found over the years that you have to love what you are doing and if you don't it's not the job for you. PS: I am 66 years old, retired, and although I have been asked if I want full time the answer is always NO ... thank you. I prefer part time.
