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!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

publix is the worst place to work. they should close down.
I've worked for Publix for a while now and it's been a fantastic experience. I've read almost every single comment here (and the article itself.) I've noticed that many complaints are written with poor grammar, little to no punctuation, and poor spelling. That already speaks volumes about the individual complaining about being mistreated. Now obviously SOME stores are simply poorly managed. It does not mean the company as a whole is bad. It wouldn't constantly be voted one of the best companies in the United States to work for if it were truly a bad company. But if you're not the brightest individual or simply uneducated (read: high school education), you probably aren't the best at your job. If you're not being promoted, again, probably not good at your job, or your attitude sucks and it's apparent at work. I work my butt off and it shows, even taking on extra positions when they were in need, and they gave me the highest introductory raise when I hit my first six months. I've continued to bust my butt and am now about to become assistant meat manager (started as cashier/bagger) due to hard work, picking up extra shifts, having very open availability and repeatedly letting them know I want to move up. Now there are people that I work with that complain and moan to everyone JUST as these commenters and the original writer are here... They're also not the brightest. And they barely get raises due to those facts. Many are older and feel that their age entitles them to more pay and hours. Sorry, but it doesn't. I'm young and I'm sure some older disgruntled workers think things like that about me, but they have no idea I'm also paying my way through college, all my bills (obviously) and am attending full-time while busting my butt at Publix AND another job. I know less intelligent people never seem to realize that they aren't intelligent, but seriously... It's not them, it's you. But if you feel you're being mistreated, ask for a transfer or quit and find a new job. I mean if you're so deserving of a raise, so intelligent and hard working, you should be able to find a better job, right? Wouldn't that make sense? But working there for years complaining the entire time while feeling mistreated?... That, right there, proves you're not the brightest.
Suck it up, work harder and earn it, or fix the problem. There's always a solution. And if you're truly a decent person and hard worker and not one of these self-entitled people who are lazy while thinking they work hard, you'll earn your worth, whether at Publix or another company. Never settle for less than you're worth. Someone will ALWAYS pay you more - it's up to you to find those jobs, they won't be handed to you.
Can't wait to hear your response about management lying to corporate about me.
Also, you seem like the person that would discriminate uneducated individuals anyways. I hope you take these words back. Don't listen to this idiot folks. I worked my butt off at Publix, and I was still overlooked. This punctuation is pretty dang clear.
I have been working for publix for some time know and I have to say that I have never felt so underappreciated and over worked and taken advantage of . All I do is kitchen, . When I started working everyone was so unhappy in the deli, I was warned by the other employees that working in the kitchen was the worst job to have in the deli and they were right. I expressed my interest in getting full time and worked hard at everything I did to setting up and closing kitchen. After working for some time I found out that they were giving the full time position to someone else coming from another publix who had only been with publix a short period of time, when I say short I mean short. I again spoke with my manager and expressed my desire in getting full time and my manager simply said that the position was given to this person. I felt discourage and I realized that all my hard work was for nothing in the end it's not what you know is who you know. I notice in publix that everything is about kissing ### and being in front of your managers face 24 7. Everything is politics and if they like you then they will push for you if not it doesn't matter how hard of a worker you are, what ever happened to being promoted for your hard work, it seems that this is something that we have lost. Working in the publix deli especially kitchen is one of the most exhausting jobs there is that's why everybody avoids the kitchen even the full timers. I tried again and expressed to my manager that I wanted full time, my manager treated me like I was incapable of becoming a full timer but the funny thing is I do the hardest job in the deli. My manager promised to train me in other areas and it never happened. Everyone keeps telling me that I have to train myself which is bull, because anybody that works in the kitchen knows there is no time to teach yourself especially on game days and holidays and weekend which your literally on your feet going back and forth non stop with no help. But the new full timer gets trained in everything, When I leave my work I'm so exhausted that I have no energy to do anything else when I get home. The full timers don't help, all they do is inventories salads and platters which compared to kitchen work it's nothing. who can't do a salad especially when you have a book telling you step by step taking care of customers and pulling out expired item in front of deli and replenishing tea, chit chatting in the hallway or talking in the other departments or lookibg at there phones I never have time for this. keep in mind that they get paid well. When I close kitchen I get no help from the full timer in charge, all they do is tell you what to do and walk away, I have closed kitchen too many times by myself and I can't express how exhausted I am to the point that I go home and start applying for other jobs. I have a college education and I know that I deserve a job that will appreciate my potential, they are taking advantage of me and I feel disrespecred. If I stay I will never get full time, they just want a kitchen person. I'm definitely working in getting a job in what I went to school, God willing that will happen soon. They will schedule 4 or more people in the deli side on weekend and only one person in the kitchen and by the way you have to help in the deli side as well, but when you fall behind no one helps you. Publix is not what it's cracked up to be, they show a complete disregard to their employees in the deli especially in kitchen, there is no consideration as to how exhausted you are and sometimes your scheduled to come in at 6am or 8 am in the morning after closing kitchen by yourself. I get the impression from the managers and some employees that this is all I'm good for, little do they know that I have a college degree and I plan on leaving publix. The managers and full timers can do the kitchen God knows they get paid more than me.
Publix is a horrible place to work. The mangers are nice to your face but will stab you behind your back .they promte. The wrong people .they get rid of your benefits without telling you the rruth or fiving you notice.they just care about money .they dont do drug test so many people are on drugs who work there. They are the worst people to work for. I wouldnt recommend working for them they dont folliw laws i have seen people work a ten hour shift only get half hour break you are allow 2 fifteens and half hour for lunch or work till twelve at night come back un at six very illegal people are not robots
"PuBLix iS a gReAt PlAce tO wORk!" Not unless you are 100% company minded and don't mind working 10-12 hr shifts for 9 days straight when a person is only Part time! If you are older and have health issues they really don't care because they need to follow the "business needs"! Publix should be ashamed of themselves for making older employees go outside and get carts! That should be the job for the younger guys! Cashiers shouldn't have to do that at all! I really feel that Publix should have more respect and consideration for their older employees! Publix is NOT a great place to work at all...my only enjoyment is seeing my customers and getting to talk with them.
