Publix Ranked Second Best Retail Workplace

Fortune magazine has assembled its annual list of the best retail workplaces in the United States. Every year, the list is created based on surveys sent to employees and employers about their workplaces and their practices. This year’s silver medal holder should be a point of pride for residents of Florida: it’s Florida’s favorite super market chain, Publix.

Publix Super Markets has placed second on the 2018 list, a jump from its position at third place in 2017. 94 percent of Publix workers have expressed pride in their position and the business itself, saying that they enjoy the atmosphere of the store and the way it rewards its associates. 91 percent also had high praise for their managerial staff. On the official site for the list, the following quote from an anonymous Publix worker is written: “They actually care about your life outside of work- your short and long term goals, beliefs, your family, your struggles and successes. We aren’t treated like work robots with one sole purpose, we are treated with great respect and appreciation.”

The company that currently holds the number one spot on the list is Wegmans Food Markets, Inc., while the new number three, taking over Publix’s former seat, is CarMax.
