Minimum Qualifications

Once associates register their interest, Human Resources checks to see if they meet the minimum qualifications for the positions they are seeking. Minimum qualifications are published for every management position and every PLM. The minimum qualifications include these factors:

Any age requirement
Any requirement for previous work experience
Any requirement for a driver's license
Any testing requirement for a management position

Selection Process

Regional and district managers use the list of qualified associates to determine who will fill PLM and management vacancies across the company. Scores on a battery of formal assessments are an important factor in filling the management positions.

Opportunities to Grow

"Not only does Publix hire all types of people, they encourage each worker to reach their goals within the company. My grandson began working here when we was 16, with a diagnosed disability. His managers chose to encourage him, focusing on his strengths, not his limitations. Because of this support, he chose a career at Publix in place of college. His mother and I were concerned about this. Now, however, he is a proud and successful Assistant Produce Manager with plans to seek further promotions. He made the right choice."
Meals Clerk

"I have seen boys and girls who began working as stock clerks become team leaders, Assistant Store Managers and even Store Managers. Publix offers both the opportunity to grow and the opportunity to learn in an environment of mutual support and encouragement. Publix is the place to work, to grow and to stay."
