The Hallmark Merchandiser independently services Hallmark departments in a variety of retail stores, including grocery, drug, department, and mass retailers. The role involves showcasing organizational and time-management skills, building relationships with retailers, and representing Hallmark. Merchandisers work with local store teams to optimize product placement and maintain inventory, and may support coworkers with seasonal resets and installations. On occasion, the role may involve other companies’ products in serviced stores. This part-time position has a variable weekday schedule and averages 8–12 hours per week. Workload and hours increase around seasonal holidays, and availability before and after major holidays is required, sometimes including weekends or the holiday itself. Additional support may be needed for seasonal changeovers, extended services, installations, and inventory work. Paid training includes live, hands-on instruction and virtual classroom training. The starting rate is $15.00–$17.00 per hour, depending on skills and experience; eligible employees receive annual pay increases. Merchandisers use a Hallmark-provided mobile device for restocking, organizing, inventory monitoring, communication, time reporting, feedback, surveys, and other required merchandising activities. They are responsible for the Hallmark product display at assigned stores and interact professionally with store employees, management, and customers. Department reset work can include building and installing fixtures, relocating card departments and products, and resetting card sections; remodel assignments are typically communicated two weeks in advance and may involve evenings or weekends. Merchandisers are also part of a field network that may support other team members in their territories. The job is physically demanding and includes work on sales floors and in back stockrooms. It requires frequently pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying cartons, merchandise, and display fixtures up to 30 pounds, and occasionally up to 50 pounds. The work also involves kneeling, squatting, walking, and standing throughout the workday, and may require climbing stairs and step ladders.
