Publix Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Publix as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Freedom to manage self during work hours. Strong teamwork aspect with both the associates and management. I greatly respect management's willingness to invite fresh eyes into the manufacturing process and implement the changes suggested.

Cons – Strict adherence to schedule and in/out time clock. Daily I spent as many as six hours in a thirty eight degree refrigerated work zone. Most of the other workers were more active, so it wasn't a problem for them, but what I was being asked to do required little physical exertion most of the time.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to focus on improvement, you guys are awesome.
