Operating in over 200 countries, PepsiCo employs hundreds of thousands of passionate individuals dedicated to delivering innovative products and sustainable growth. In the USA, PepsiCo's Pepsi Beverages North America (PBNA) division powers retail partnerships through efficient merchandising and distribution. As a Part-time Merchandiser in Seymour/North Vernon, Indiana, you'll play a vital role in ensuring these products shine on shelves across large-volume grocery stores. PepsiCo values diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity, considering qualified applicants with criminal histories per fair chance ordinances.

Role Overview

The Part-time Merchandiser position in Seymour/North Vernon covers a Thursday-through-Sunday evening shift territory, paying $23.35 per hour. This labor-intensive role focuses on product merchandising in high-volume stores like grocery chains. Responsibilities include stocking shelves, rotating products, setting up eye-catching displays, managing coolers and backrooms, and transporting cases weighing 20-45 pounds. You'll interact directly with store personnel, build relationships, and operate under minimal supervision using handheld devices for orders. With a consistent schedule and specific start times, this self-managed role offers reliability and potential for schedule flexibility over time. Mileage reimbursement is provided for personal vehicle use on sales routes.

Why This Role Stands Out

This position suits energetic individuals with retail experience who thrive in dynamic store environments. It's perfect for part-time work with physical demands like lifting, bending, reaching, and squatting, ensuring PepsiCo products are always front-and-center for customers.
