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.
