About The Position

As a part-time Merchandiser, you will independently service Hallmark departments in assigned retail stores, including grocery, drug, department, and mass retailers. You will represent Hallmark, build relationships with store teams, optimize product placement, and maintain inventory. You may also support other team members and, on occasion, work with products from other companies in the stores you service.

The role includes day-to-day merchandising, seasonal holiday support, and department resets. Using a Hallmark-provided mobile device, you will restock, organize, and monitor Hallmark products and use technology to communicate with your supervisor, report time, provide feedback, and complete surveys. Holiday periods may bring additional workdays and extended hours; some work may be required on holidays, including weekends. Reset assignments may involve building or installing fixtures, moving card departments and products, and resetting card sections, with assignments typically communicated two weeks in advance. These tasks may take place in the evening or on weekends.

This position has a variable schedule during the work week and averages 10–15 hours weekly. Availability is needed the week before and after major holidays, which may include weekends, and to support season changeovers, extended services, installations, and inventory work. Starting pay is $15.00–$17.00 per hour depending on skills and experience. Hallmark provides paid training through live, hands-on instruction and virtual classroom training. Eligible employees receive annual pay increases. Part-time employees working fewer than 30 hours have access to voluntary benefits, including dental, vision, critical illness, accident insurance, hospital indemnity, and minimum essential coverage for preventive care.

The job is physically demanding and involves work on retail selling floors and in back stockrooms. You must frequently push, pull, lift, and carry cartons, merchandise, and display fixtures up to 30 pounds, and occasionally up to 50 pounds. Work also involves kneeling, squatting, walking, and standing, and may require climbing stairs and step ladders.
