Role Overview

As a Part-time Merchandiser for PepsiCo in Seymour, Indiana, covering the Bedford/Salem/Paoli territory, you'll play a vital role in ensuring our products are prominently displayed and readily available in high-volume grocery stores. This evening shift position (Thursday through Sunday) offers $23.35 per hour and involves labor-intensive tasks such as stocking shelves, rotating products, building displays, and managing backroom inventory. With a consistent schedule and opportunities to adjust shifts over time, this self-managed role is ideal for motivated individuals seeking flexible part-time work with growth potential. You'll interact directly with store personnel, build relationships, and contribute to PepsiCo's market dominance in the region.

• Transporting products from backrooms to sales floors using equipment like U-boats, hand trucks, and pallet jacks.

• Communicating store issues to managers and PepsiCo leadership.
• Building strong customer relationships at the store level.
• Complying with operating procedures, including scan-in/scan-out and designated routes.
• Delivering exceptional customer service through communication and attentiveness.
• Operating under minimal supervision while using handheld devices for orders.
