Customer Care Specialist
Our team of Customer Care Specialists service Publix’s Customer Care Center, which operates Monday – Friday, 9 a.m.– 6 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Our Customer Care team processes hundreds of thousands of customer correspondences annually across seven states and 1,200 stores. These Specialists deliver premier customer service to our customers through phone calls, email, and letters. They also achieve timely and accurate resolution of customer inquiries and concerns and respond to praise as well.
Customer Care Specialists generate responses to inquiries and comments received from Publix customers. They are responsible for responding to the escalated tier of customer calls and quality assurance measures. When possible, the Specialists reply immediately to an inquiry by using prepared responses or tapping the appropriate information sources. They respond to customers verbally or in writing with correct information regarding product concerns, service levels, and policies. When Specialists are unable to provide resolution, they work to determine the appropriate reason, so they can use the escalation process to the appropriate leader.
