Best part of working for Publix
Seeing proof every day that a huge company can still be a family when its leaders remain focused on the customer and on the value of every

Best part of my role here
The variety. One minute, I'm focusing on our IT staffing needs and the next I'm working
on innovative strategies to attract more
Gen Ys to apply for store positions. Then there are the management searches, the focus groups,
the website upgrades and the stimulating brainstorm sessions on the latest recruiting technologies.
