They are very organized, ive never seen a publix be dirty... never have i ever had an associate be rude to me... ive been there a lot.

[@PureAloha78]

I went to Publix for the first time in Orlando and I must say they are the cleanest and most organized supermarket of any supermarket I have ever been to. The employees are so courteous and helpful. Thank you publix for making my first time experience a very very positive one. Please open a market in Hawaii.

THIS IS THE WAY ALL COMPANIES SHOULD TREAT THERE EMPLOYEES

[@forfree12345]

NOONE should be treated the way Publix treats their associates

How so?@@forfree12345

[@linzierogers5024]

They are not employees but owners. In an employer/employee system you have employees.

A cult tends to have a head........like Amazon.

[@scottferris6309]

There was one Publix store in 1930. Today, there are over 1,100 Publix stores. If Publix is a cult, then it is a cult that works!

Amusing in a way. It was Karl Marx who said people should own the companies for which they work. These people own the company and appear to be happy. Marx? Mention his name and many people become unhappy. By the way I believe Land-O-Lakes and Ocean Spray are either Co-ops or ESOPs.

[@chernobyl_employee8872]

I work for Publix and this is truth, Marx is right for this

[@COACHC925]

There's no Publix in California ? Is the Company Founder cousin's with WinCo ?

[@KingJT80]

I love WinCo's up here in Everett, WA down the street from Boeing where I work in a union lol

[@mannyfreeesh5256]

I wonder if it's because of state taxes. Seems like a southern region company, and they're based in Florida, which doesn't have state income tax if I recall correctly.

[@kippaseo8027]

They're not gonna be employ own for long. Public's will soon be going public. All the signs are there . The inventory bonuses are gone As well as all holiday bonuses and the stock options have completely changed. As a 25 year employee I can say that this is a very different company than it once was. I guess it's a sign of The Times

@@Killerrob-rn3os Sounds like you need to listen and learn from your elders. Kip has 25 years to your pretty much just starting. Kip is giving insight on Publix, which is valuable information that people can use. Reread what Kip is saying. I think you're just to young to interpret it.

I did, Winn Dixie was the same, if not better, they had more perks than publix, and more laid back.

Most of the stuff is BS! I work there: 1. For you to get full time! You need to work there as a part time for at least 10 years and that’s if you lucky. 2. They didn’t said that 90% of the people here are part time and they don’t have any benefits like paid sick days. 3. There’s a lot of preference in most stores I’ve worked at 4. You gotta do other people jobs too some times. 5. Team leaders are disorganized like one tell you to do something in a certain way and the other the opposite way

[@lol24891941]

I've gotten full time after less than two years. Part-time associates still receive more benefits than most companies offer even without sickpay. At every job you do more than you're specified in your position - its called doing what you have to do, not what you want to. Humility and teamwork goes a long way. Everyone has their personal ways of doing tasks. Some more or less efficient, but it's the same goal.

[@____Anonymous___]

@@lol24891941 publix does not offer sick pay to part timers. Even my asís. manager works at another company (Amazon). You probably work at the deli and got lucky. I’m not dumb to be doing somebody job for the same salary and mostly when managers don’t want to schedule people that need the hours to survive.

[@lol24891941]

@@____Anonymous___ I meant to put without, sorry. I work in customer service too. Everyday I'm doing multiple peoples jobs due to oasis scheduling and forecasting, productivity demands and callouts. Believe me, your management team knows. They have a productivity requirement they must be at during every schedule making process and cannot be outside of a certain percentage. I understand again doing multiple people's jobs is difficult, but have a perspective on how it is developing your character and soft skills. Ask your management about improvements you can have, and if you're hustling constantly, ask for promotions. Ask your DM and SM for advice, coaching and even full time opportunities if you can ROI for a PLM. Prior to me being promoted I had to do managerial tasks amongst a lot more. One example is that I had to check stores in our plaza which had been vacant for utility usage and cleaning and report back to my SM. - Win your store manager and truly get to build a relationship with him/her, the same with your department manager. It helps you out in the long run for promotion. A few days after that, I was promoted. If you don't get hours, closed mouths don't get fed. Speak up for yourself to your management. Explain to them how you're going beyond your specific job details and aiding other departments and filling in missing positions and ask politely for more hours - do not demand them. All in all, its an every day thing - it's called being a team player and if you use that in conversation, it'll help you. See if you can cross train departments for more hours. If you work in CS ask your fresh department managers like seafood or produce if they need people and cross-train there. I've had to work in all departments multiple times. I was making subs yesterday in-between coordinating the front end with my csm because they had a shortage during lunch. It's all about doing your part. I have a second job myself but it's my choice of having it because I'm saving up for certain things. Management is paid very well outside of what they may tell you, Publix is one of the few companies existing that pays competitively to college degrees without requiring one for a career.

One observation. There are people who care not one whit for being the owner of anything except their home and possibly automobile. Such people will find working at a place such as this unpleasant. All they want is their salary for labor rendered, and social security upon retirement. Being an owner means regular work and extra work. The extra work they can do without unless its extra pay, which it should be, and some of them don't even want that.

You understand they do get extra pay correct? Stock options and benefits a
