Ok, I work for
Publix. For nearly 4 years. I am a hard worker. I've worked in five different stores, the store where I'm working at present is the best I've being with. My problem with
Publix is most manager can be your best buddies but at the same time they are slowly twisting the knife in your back. I've being denied promotion, only been off sick once. Receive excellent performance reports every
six months. I finally had to call Human Resources to get some advice. The problem with this 12 - 13 week bonus, is
store managers only look out for themselves. Do they really care about the worker, I know they care for their own people (family; friends and other store mangers next of kins) I've worked with a few and all have said the same thing, if it wasn't for the shares and the bonus money, they would never work for
Publix. Would like to know other people views

Tonya, you really need to learn how to lie better than that. You said your worked in the deli both times, right? What does that have to do with the meat manager? The meat manager has NOTHING to do with the deli AT ALL. The meat manager does not do your schedule or have any say in whether you get promoted or not. That's all the deli manager. Nice try though.

I worked for Publix on 2 different occasions. I worked in the deli both times. The second time I was older so I understood more. The meat manager was a total A..hole. If you spoke your mind about something he would give you crap hours. I was trying to go full time and my deli manager thought I was ready but he didn't think so. I would say you can go far at Publix but just keep your mouth shut and do what they say not as they do and you can have it all. Oh wait... that's right....THIS IS AMERICA!!!

I have worked for Publix for two years and I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. I think it is a good company to work for because they offer great benefits, but it is a bad company to work because of how they deal with their associates. There is a lot of lying by managers and I believe that they do only care about themselves. They say that they are a family owned company, but that does not seem to be evident at the store level. I know of a person in my district who sued the company because they were not promoting black women so I believe that there is truth to some of the complaints on this website. The hard truth is that is how the retail industry operates and it does not matter what area you work in. I have been around and I know what I am talking about. So my recommendation is to find solace in the fact that you have a job, because many people do not. And consider leaving the industry if if bothers you that much. My suspicion is that it is only going to get worse as time goes by. If those feel it necessary talk to HR and bring HR into your complaint against Publix becuase that is their job. And if their is some issue with retaliation then bring HR into the situation again because once again THAT IS THIER JOB. You have every right to go to a job and not feel threatened, intimidated, or harrassed by any employee or manager. THAT IS THE LAW!

It sounds like you are more concerned with others progression and not your own. I came to work having no previous experience and new no one and in 8 years I am now a store manager. Hard work is where it is at. Invest in others and you will show how much you care.

WELL TO HONEST WITH ALL, PUBLIX MANAGERS DO LOOK OUT FOR THEMSELVES BUT THIER WERE ONLY A FEW OF US WHO LOOKED OUT FOR THE ASSOCIATES,BEWARE THE FIRST TIME YOU STAND UP(AS A MANAGER) YOU WILL BE FORCED OUT OF YOUR POSITION.I WORKED FOR PUBLIX FOR 7 YEARS 4 YEARS I HELD A ASST.DELI MANAGERS POSITION.NOT TO MENTION THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF WAS IN 1 OF THE BUSIEST IN SARASOTA.THE MOMENT I WENT TO BAT FOR MISTREATED ASSOCIATE,FROM THAT DAY ON I WAS TREATED SO VERY BADLY THAT I WALKED AWAY FROM THE *** HOLE !!!!!! ALSO 4 YEARS OF SCORING HIGH PASSES ON THE *** TEST BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO PLAY THIER POLITICS I COULD NOT GET PROMOTED TO DELI MANAGER. BUT THEY WILL PROMOTE SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO DEAL WITH ASSOCIATE ISSUES SUCH IS "RACIAL". BUT SHE PLAYED THE POLITICAL GAME. SO FORM YOUR OWN OPINION ABOUT THAT!!!!

Well, by the sound of it, you need to go back to school and learn how to properly use grammar. Your level of literacy could be a reason for being held back. I've been with Publix for almost 3 years and have been promoted to CSS within a year, even though I was only 16 at the time. Within a few months, I will be CSTL. It's called hard work and motivation.
