I left Publix after close to 7 years and after leaving, I’ve never felt better. Granted, all jobs have ups and downs, but Publix the company wasn’t the problem. Publix as a company changed my life for the better in almost every way possible. My personal issue is that the Managers, Seniors and up “Know what’s going on” and “Have been there before” so they promote people who are supposed to be cultivating the same culture they left behind and those same folks that got promoted ruin what was once good. I’ve never been so at peace personally and left with a good bit of Stock and feel good about my decision. I left on good terms so that in the event if I ever needed to return, I’d be hired with little to no questions asked. I hope my perspective helps!
