Merchandise Associate

Merchandise Associates work in all types of retail settings, including grocery, department and discount stores and specialty shops. While the merchandise they handle might vary, their main duties are to keep the shelves fully stocked, tidy and organized to help increase sales. This role helps create a visually appealing retail space that makes products easy to find. Merchandise Associates may also encourage people to buy more items by positioning the products in highly visible locations. Spending so much time on the floor means Merchandise Associates interact regularly with customers to help them have a positive shopping experience.
