Distribution Q&A

 (en Español)

Openings

 Q: Does Distribution have both fulltime and part-time opportunities?

Yes. The majority of Distribution associates are fulltime, but we are also very flexible working with associates who only desire part-time positions.

 Q: How do I know what openings there are at a specific Distribution Center and how do I apply?

Each Distribution Center has its own specific needs, which change frequently. You may inquire about current openings by calling our Jobline, available 24 hours a day, to hear a recording that lists all openings as well as instructions on how to apply for any that interest you. You may also view job openings on www.publix.jobs/support.

 Q: How do I know what management openings there are at a Distribution Center?

Generally, we do not advertise for management openings because most of them are filled by promotion from within. However, we occasionally accept applications from outside the company for specific positions. Those openings are listed on www.publix.jobs/support.



Application Process

 Q: Am I required to have experience working in a Distribution Center to apply for openings at your Distribution Center?

Usually not, but those who do have that experience have an advantage over those who do not.

 Q: If I am interested in a position in one of your Distribution Centers, where do I send my résumé?

We do not process unsolicited résumés for Distribution positions. All applications for positions in our Distribution Centers must be completed in person at a Publix Employment Office or submitted through www.publix.jobs/support or Hotjobs.

 Q: How long is my application active?

For 60 days. If you don't hear anything within 60 days after you apply, we encourage you to reapply.

 Q: Will I be contacted after submitting an application?

Only applicants who are chosen for an interview are called. The number of applications we receive makes it impossible to contact each applicant.



Other

 Q: Does Publix hire many external candidates for hourly positions in Distribution?

Absolutely. The most common are order selectors, maintenance mechanics, ammonia refrigeration specialists and clerical positions.

 Q: Is it true Publix offers free meals?

If there is a cafeteria at or near the facility in which you work, support associates (Distribution, Manufacturing, and Corporate) are entitled to a free hot buffet-style meal in the cafeteria on the days they work.

 Q: What are some of the expectations you have for people who are invited to join your company?

Publix is a leader in the supermarket industry because our associates have high standards. They are individuals who can meet our lofty expectations. In fact, they are people who only want to work with others who also have high standards. To maintain our leadership position and positive company morale, we strive to hire people who are:
  • passionate about delivering premier customer service,
  • driven to make things better—for Publix and for the communities we serve,
  • energized by teamwork, and
  • honest, dependable, respectful of others and of Publix property.

 Q: How old do you have to be to work at a Distribution Center?

Distribution only accepts applications from job seekers who are at least 18 years old. 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.
