Our founder once said, “Publix is like a smorgasbord with opportunity spread out for you. Prepare yourself. The opportunities are up for grabs.” Not long after Publix was founded, Mr. George realized that with growing a company comes the increasing need to promote and hire more associates. He encouraged associates to prepare themselves because of all the opportunities available at Publix. He created an environment for Publix associates to be successful. After almost 95 years of investing in our associates, we’d like to share how working for Publix can change your life.

Publix offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. With a strong emphasis on promoting from within, associates can start in entry-level positions and work their way up to management roles.

We are committed to providing our associates with competitive wages, job stability, and benefits including insurance, tuition reimbursement, retirement plans, and stock options.
