Why I Love Publix

Joey,
Paint & Décor Supervisor

It clicked! I remember that day so vividly. There it was before me, a piece of paper on the floor that I would have passed up previously but now felt was my responsibility to pick up. Our manager had recently spoken to us about ownership. "You are stockholders, you own this company," he told us. From that day forward I would treat this job as if I owned the company. And I do!

At Publix, you not only have a place to work and a career to build but you become owners of the company. We are the largest employee-owned supermarket chain in the nation. I am in Facility Services, the department responsible for keeping our retail stores maintained, clean and inviting, upholding the Publix tradition. My responsibilities include interior décor, signage, and environments, but there are many other areas within our Facilities group that provide career opportunities.

My 31 years with Publix have been fun and rewarding. The company has provided me with a great career. I will always be thankful for the opportunity to work for the best supermarket company in America. Come join the family and let it click for you!
