Publix was founded 60 years ago in Winter Haven, FL, and though it's since grown into a US-wide Fortune 500 company, it remains especially ubiquitous in Florida. The company has stayed remarkably stable over the years, growing and hiring even in the middle of the recession: it opened 36 new stores and hired 27,000 new associates in 2009. Though benefits are great year-round, annual holiday cash bonuses, free flu shots, and holiday exchange (selecting another day off when you work a holiday), are nice seasonal perks.
