"It is trick to say, because your income depends on the number of hours you are assigned. The nature of the position makes it easy for you to have a lot of competition, so it's common for the total number of man hours to be divided among many employees. I moved from customer service to the deli department because it is often the least attractive department by many people's opinion, so it was often understaffed. This move was a win-win because it filled the need the store had, and allowed me to have more hours. Compared to other stores, the salary seems reasonably average, but some smaller stores hire less employees and instead assign more hours, which will make it easier to have a higher income."

"It's hard to say, because a big contributor in your earnings is also the total number of hours you are able to get each week. In general, certain positions are a typical supermarket experience a lot of competition, and this can make it harder to get enough hours. Many supermarkets, such as Publix, start all their new employees as temps, and promote to full time occasionally. Some smaller places will occasionally pay higher or hire less employees and make them full timers, but this also makes it a more competitive position. I moved from customer service to deli clerk fairly quickly because comparatively few people wanted to work in the deli compared to other departments, and as a result, it was understaffed and made it possible for me to obtain more hours each week. It was a win-win scenario because the department could fill their need, and I was able to get more hours."

"For a supermarket of the size of Publix, it is a relatively average wage.
Your income will be more affected by the hours you are able to get each week, as Publix likes to hire everyone as part-timers and promote to full-timers only in rare occasions. In some smaller supermarkets, you may see higher wages and even more adequate hours, but it will be harder to get in due to higher competition."
