Last month, we made Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list for the 27th consecutive year. We’re 1 of only 4 companies to have been recognized every year since the list began in 1998.

About the survey

The list is developed by Fortune and Great Place To Work, an organization that promotes and enhances workplace culture. Every year, they survey employees working for companies with a Great Place To Work certification and at least 1,000 U.S. employees.

Why Publix is a great place to work

We asked you why it’s great to work at Publix. Here are some of your responses.

Great employers respect the dignity of their associates.

Our founder, Mr. George, followed this philosophy in the 1st Publix store and it continues today.

“It’s a workplace where you can truly be yourself and bring all your ideas to the team,” said Print Production Coordinator Molly Gunson, Lakeland, Florida. “Everyone is open to different ideas and being collaborative, while also sticking to the culture of being Publix.”

Great employers encourage open and honest communication.

For us, it’s a continuation of Mr. George’s commitment to ensuring every associate has a voice.

“This company and its leaders truly value their associates by allowing their opinions to be heard and empowering them to succeed,” said Information Systems Senior Engineer Joseph Jarboe, Lakeland, Florida. “Publix creates a welcoming environment where people want to work together to provide customers with a place where shopping is a pleasure.”

Great employers believe in the importance of making a difference.

Mr. George believed in the importance of giving back. It’s part of our commitment to be responsible citizens in our communities.

“We’re a very people-oriented company,” said Customer Service Staff William Fusco, #1377, Dothan, Alabama. “I love working with a team that provides a positive impact on our community. Local volunteer work and going above and beyond to help our customers are some of the ways we strive to give back.”

We’re not Publix without you

“Publix is truly a little better and a great place to work because of us,” said Store Manager Amanda Burke, #1589, Glen Allen, Virginia.

We’re honored to be on the Fortune 100 Best Companies Work For list. Thank you for making Publix a great place to work!
