Q: How old do you have to be to work at a Publix store?
A: Federal and state laws regulate
the employment of minors. These laws specifically regulate the hours that individuals under the age of 18 may work, the
occupations in which they may be employed and the hazardous equipment and/or materials from which they are restricted. Publix
only accepts applications from job seekers who are at least 14 years old. However, not all of our stores hire minors due to
the positions and shifts available at each location.
Q: What positions can a minor apply for?
A: If you are 14 or 15, you could be considered for
Front Service Clerk ("bagger"), Cashier or Floral Clerk. If you are 16 or 17, you could be considered for those positions,
as well as for eight others: Bakery Clerk, Demonstrator, Dairy Clerk, Frozen Food Clerk, Housewares Clerk, Grocery Clerk,
Produce Clerk or Health & Beauty Care Clerk. See our Job Description Chart for more details.
Q: How do I apply?
A: Go to the store where you want to work and look for the Job Application Center. Use the computer to provide Publix with your information. (Most applicants complete this process in less than 45 minutes.) Nearby Publix stores may also see your application, so if you are called for an interview, please make sure you know where to go for the interview.
Q: How do I know what positions are available at a specific store?
A: Each Publix location
has different needs. When you apply at the Job Application Center inside the store, a flyer above the computer monitor
indicates the positions available at that store. Remember that other stores may view your application, and hiring needs can
change quickly within stores, so don't be discouraged if the position you want isn't listed. Apply for all of the jobs you
are interested in.
Q: If I am interested in a position in one of your stores, where do I send my resume?
A: We
do not process resumes for non-management store positions. All applications for our stores must be completed in person at
the store of your choice.
Q: Will I be called after submitting an application?
A: Only applicants who are chosen for
interviews are called. Store Managers wish they could call every applicant and thank him or her for considering Publix during
a job search. However, the number of applications we receive makes that impossible.
Q: How long is my application active?
A:
For 30 days. If you don't hear anything within the first month after you apply, we encourage you to return to the store to
update your application, which will make it active for another 30 days.
Q: Can I update my application at any time?
A: Yes. You don’t need to wait 30 days to do so.
Q: What is Publix's environmental policy?
A: Publix is committed to preserving and improving our environment. Our goal is to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible. The cornerstone of our corporate conservation program, which has been called "Get into a Green Routine" since 2002, really began with our cardboard recycling program in the early 1970s. Our "Green Routine" program has been so successful, we were awarded the Council for Sustainable Florida large business award in 2007. Also, we are a partner company in the Environmental Protection Agency's "Energy Star" and "GreenChill" programs.
Q: Where is the corporate office located?
A: Our address is 3300 Publix Corporate Parkway, Lakeland, FL 33811. Please note that Publix Corporate Parkway is also known as Airport Boulevard.
