About The Position

As a part-time Merchandiser, you work independently in assigned retail stores to showcase Hallmark products, build relationships with store teams, optimize product placement, and maintain inventory. You may also support other team members with seasonal resets and installations, and occasionally work with products from other companies in the stores you service.

The role involves servicing Hallmark departments in grocery, drug, department, and mass retail stores. Using a Hallmark-provided mobile device, you restock, organize, and monitor Hallmark inventory and displays, report time, communicate with your supervisor, provide feedback, and complete surveys related to merchandising activities. Professional and courteous interactions with store employees, management, and customers are important. The schedule is variable during the work week and averages 10–12 hours per week. Additional days and extended hours may be expected around holidays, and some holiday work may be required. Resets and installations may involve evenings or weekends, with remodel assignments typically communicated two weeks in advance.

The job is physically demanding and involves working on selling floors and in back stockrooms. Merchandisers must frequently push, pull, lift, and carry items up to 30 pounds and occasionally handle items up to 50 pounds. The role also requires kneeling, squatting, walking, standing, and potentially climbing stairs and step ladders. Starting pay is $16.50–$18.50 per hour, depending on skills and experience. Paid training is provided through live, hands-on instruction and virtual classroom training. Eligible employees receive annual pay increases, and part-time employees scheduled for fewer than 30 hours have access to voluntary benefits.
