I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Publix (Miami, FL) in Jul 2013
Interview
It was a long process. Started with a phone interview, then two in persons and one via video conference with the home office and didn't get the position because they changed the position.
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Publix (Tampa, FL) in Jul 2013
Interview
The company places their own application kiosks in the store. The application process took almost one hour, a bit longer than expected. I did receive a call back within a week which was truly welcomed. The company examines job openings for an physical area, so I was hired at a location different from my application location. An in person interview was conducted at the store, the managers themselves conducting the interview, no hr interface.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They did not present any odd or difficult questions. overall, the interview was a positive experience. They are quite candid that many people would not like to work at a grocery store but emphasis positive benefits for remaining at the job.
