Interviewed Aug 2008 (took a day)
Applied online, received a call to come in for an interview a couple weeks later. They asked all the basic questions: why do you want to work here? what does customer service mean to you? etc. They then administered the drug test and scheduled my first day of training. Easiest interview I've ever had.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I have always enjoyed coming to this publix. The process was very to the point. The enviorment is friendly and nice. But most of all, I enjoy the staff. To put it into few words, they have great manners and go beyond their job descriptions.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Orlando, FL (took 2 days)
After taking time out from my vacation,I took an impromptu interview witha store manager,for Publix,in Orlando.The initial discussion,was rude,unprofessional,and completely insulting!I informed the manager that I had 20 years of experience,to wit he responded"we want you to come in,SHUT UP,and kind of blend in to the background,we don't want you acting like you're better than anyone else!"
If you don't expect excellence out of your employees,you can't get excellence out of your employees!He proceede to further insult me by offering me $8.00 an hour to start,and only part time hours!!
I have almost completely closed the door on any further interaction with the company,and would need a remarkably good interview process to counter this horrible one!

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Publix likes to hire family members, so because my son already worked in the grocery dept interviewing was just a formality. I had the job just for the asking. Wish I could be more help... my best advise, make friends with a current employee and you will have a much easier time getting hired.
Negotiation Details
Negotiate?? got the pay I asked for and the number of hours too.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2007 in Lakeland, FL (took 2 weeks)
Publix initially contacted me about 2 weeks after I had applied. During that phone call, I had a preliminary 30 minute "talk" session in order to get to know the department manager. About a week later, I was invited to the corporate office for a full interview with 2 members of the staff. The interviews mainly covered education background, prior work experience, my experience with the group we were supporting, and knowledge of Publix. I was then asked to look at a report and critique it.
