Role Overview

The Part-time Merchandiser position in Seymour, Indiana, covering the Scottsburg and Madison territory, offers a dynamic opportunity to represent PepsiCo in high-volume grocery stores. Working Thursday through Sunday, this labor-intensive role involves stocking shelves, rotating products, setting up eye-catching displays, and ensuring coolers and backrooms are organized. With a consistent schedule and specific start times, you'll enjoy predictability while building skills in merchandising and customer interaction. Earning $23.35 per hour, this position is ideal for reliable individuals with personal transportation who thrive in fast-paced retail environments. It's a self-managed role that rewards initiative, attention to detail, and a passion for making products accessible and appealing to shoppers.
