George Jenkins inspired associates to prepare for career growth because Publix offers many opportunities. He said, “I truly believe the future holds before us such fantastic opportunities it is almost beyond belief.”

He created an environment for our associates to be successful.  

  • Publix hires people who are committed to providing premier customer service. Managers work with each newly hired associate to help them grow and learn what it means to be a part of the Publix family.  
  • Managers listen to associates’ personal career growth goals and offer development support. Publix offers tuition reimbursement programs and resources to help associates build on their current knowledge and skill sets.
  • Managers train and mentor associates so they’ll be ready for opportunities. We foster a promote-from-within philosophy. Publix believes in the ability of our people to grow as the company grows — whether an associate wants to develop into a leader or excel in their current role.
  • Associates have the opportunity to periodically register their interest in advancing to a management position.
  • Associates can pursue a variety of roles and access ongoing skill-building. Their career journey at Publix could include working in different roles.

We provide our associates training, career opportunities and competitive benefits. We offer the resources they need to pursue and achieve their goals. This is all a part of what makes Publix a great place to work.
