 Feel great about working for Publix!Here’s why Publix has been one of FORTUNE® magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" 11 consecutive years. Good Friends in a Great EnvironmentAnnual surveys show that one of the top reasons associates love working at Publix is because of the teamwork they experience and the friends they make. Just check out the testimonials to read first-hand how they feel. It’s rare for such a large company to foster – and maintain – a feeling of togetherness, but that sense of family is strong at Publix. Excellent BenefitsPublix offers an array of benefits to help associates obtain health care, further their education, save for retirement, and enjoy discounts on numerous products and services. We don't think you'll find a better Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) anywhere. Publix provides free stock each year for your retirement program, and allows associates to buy additional shares on their own. The value of Publix stock has appreciated an average of 17% annually since 1959. What other investment has retained that kind of value for the past 50 years? Sense of OwnershipWe are the largest employee-owned supermarket chain in the nation. Publix associates benefit from that ownership through profit-sharing in the form of quarterly retail bonuses, year-end bonuses, and free shares of company stock distributed yearly to a retirement account. Just as rewarding is the sense of pride we have in working for a company known for being both an industry leader and a powerful advocate for the communities that we serve. StabilityAt a time when many other companies are shrinking, merging, or folding, Publix is opening dozens of new stores each year. It pays to work for a company that vigorously practices fiscal discipline! We have no long term debt. Our profit margins are among the healthiest in the supermarket industry. We don’t succumb to Wall Street pressures because we are privately-held. And our leaders are committed to keeping the company just as stable for the next 78 years! Career GrowthPublix has a strong tradition of promoting from within because we value extended service to the company. That's why so many cashiers, baggers, stock clerks, bakers, decorators and meat cutters become managers or join the corporate support team. More than 15,000 Publix associates have been with the company for at least 10 years. Close Relationship with CustomersFor 14 consecutive years, Publix customers rated their satisfaction with us the highest in the supermarket industry, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Check out all of our awards. We’re not only proud of the relationships we build with customers; Publix associates are the kind of people who are drawn to careers that allow them to serve others. Community SpiritPublix and its associates contribute more than $35 million a year and countless hours of volunteer work to the United Way and other agencies serving our communities. We were founded on the principles of giving back to our local communities and have for the past 78 years! Our founder, George Jenkins, was once asked what he thought he would have been worth had he not given so much of his money to charity. In classic Mr. George style, he answered, “Probably nothing.” At Publix, have the spirit of giving. Just ask our great community partners, such as Special Olympics, March of Dimes, Children’s Miracle Network and Food for All. Commitment to DiversityPublix is committed to ensuring diversity in our workforce, meeting the needs of our diverse customers and contributing to the diversity in our communities. Commitment to Planet EarthWe believe in doing business in a way that is responsible to the needs of our planet. Check out our corporate sustainability activities – from recycling to energy efficiency, from solar energy to local product sourcing. Our Green Routine is a thriving program across the entire company. |
