I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Publix (Orlando, FL) in Feb 2016
Interview
Had an initial 30min interview with the store manager which as far as I could tell went great. I was told I'd get a call back before the end of the week to let me know either way. I never got a call. I called back daily asking about the status of my application and after another week got a "second interview", which it turned out was for a different position as initially they were interviewing me for the deli, apparently, and I didn't get that job. Second interview was around 30min repeated all the same questions and explanations of policy and again I felt it went great (in spite of some inappropriate negativity by the interviewer, such as complaining about the company and stating that she thought the minimum wage position I was applying for was overpaid and should be eliminated). I was told that she had only one more person to interview and that I would get a call back by 2 today with an answer. Around 4 I got a call telling me that she went with the other candidate but that since she already interviewed me she "could" just give me the next opening she had come available.
I'm a retail experienced recent college graduate with friends who work for or have worked for Publix. If anything I feel over qualified for the part time minimum wage position I was applying to. I always heard such great things about Publix, but my personal experience left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
Interview was fine, team member giving the interview did not care. Half of the time they were on their phone not paying attention to me.don't think of coming back to this place
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Publix
Interview
There were loads of questions and a simulation on the online application. It was an easy process. Everyone i spoke with was very nice. I would highly recommend it any students looks for a great starter position or even building a career with publix.

Several real life examples of "what would you do" type questions.
Just easy questions about me and why i want to work at publix, didn't really go into detail and was mostly simple. It's a pretty straight forward process, you can't really mess it up unless you have a bad history or criminal record
