- Quick video of me Merching one of my accounts. Sorry the video ends abruptly, my camera died but was basically done with the store since there wasn’t much left. I do not own the rights to any of the songs that are played in the video in the background. #Pepsi
Merchandiser here in Idaho. I handle both Walmarts In town. 6:00am to 12:00 lunch. Fortunate enough to live in a moderate size city. 4 pallets each stores. Once you get the hang of it, it’s a fairly easy job.
when i was still with pepsi I serviced the busiest walmart in vermont it did so much volume they had to take 2 stores off my route cause i’d get deliveries there 5 days again usually between 8-15 pallets a day . i had so many cooler banks it would take 2 hrs to do coolers sometimes even 3 . I only had 2 stores to service that’s cause i’d spend 6-7 hrs at walmart alone 😂
@@positivityandpeace3548 yeah no kidding. Used to work for 7up and had an easy route-- 300-350 case orders, 400-550 during holidays. I ended up moving to a different city a few years later and got a job working for Pepsi and unbeknownst to me this Meijer I have to merchandise is apparently top 10 in volume in the midwest. Orders 6 days a week Monday-Saturday haha.
i went in for a interview for a merchandiser job but they were impressed with my long history of working retail and how i handled the interview they gave me the customer service merchandiser job instead that pays way more, from what they explained to me the only difference from a regular merch job i just have the authority to order stuff and try to sell the big bosses stuff....start orientation tomorrow and I'm super nervous
How's the job?
@@rdg760jr2 I lasted about 2 months, too much responsibility with nagging clown bosses and store managers, i was pulling in 11 and a half hour shifts starting day 1 with no work life balance. not worth the $23 an hour for the constant stress that came with it and i feel sorry for anybody that works for pepsi as a merchandiser. Luckily i found something that pays more and life has been smooth sailing.
Right. Wheee you at now with it?
I hope you didn’t become that one annoying sales rep that over orders
@@TJ-100 nope wasn't even worth my time.
Pep Merch for 8 years. So thankful I can just pull my pallets out on the sales floor at all my stores typically 3-4 stops a day 12-13hr days
Is everyday 12 hour shift?
@@syl6090 no not everyday but summer there’s a lot but I do a high volume route I just finished a 56hr week. After holidays though it’s really slow
Nice vid! Been working with Pepsi for about 3 months now, so far still enjoying!
Would you recommend it? I’m going for an interview. I work at coke rn but Pepsi pays wayyyy more. How long is your work day?
@@TheVANITYKILLJOY Yeah, absolutely. As long as you’re down for a lot labour work!
My hours tend to differ depending on how much we have to deliver and merch, with the hours usually around 8 hours or 10. Sometimes even 12 lol
I feel bad for you it's a gimp garbage job
How much hours would you say you get a week?
Fantastic Romeo, great video! Well done on this video and your channel.
Thank you!
I've learned that rotating isn't really that important. at my stores everything flys off the shelf. Especially when 12 packs and 6 packs are on special. But good tip on keeping it rotated in the backroom.
Same here especially regular mtn dew anything
rotation is very important or my many bosses yell at me and write me up lol. Diet sodas are key to rotate as they have a shorter shelf life.
@@pastorjoelbremer i guess it depends on the store. Some stores the product flies off the shelf. Other stores may sit longer. Just depends.
@@Tommy2Txmes true...I've only had problems with diet drinks. plus if you dont rotate back room, it can be easy to have the same product with 3-4 different dates.
Question how many stores do you usually stock per 8-10 hour day?
Rotating is working harder not smarter (unless you’re talking about slow moving products then sure) lol. For the most part Pepsi is a fast moving product making rotating redundant.
Facts I don’t even rotate lol
That actually depends where we are talking about. In Texas coke and Dr Pepper are the top sellers not Pepsi.
Believe it or not the PEPSI guys have the least amount of work but make the most money of the 3 main distributors in the Houston TX market
@@MrComic97 slower stores I do like FDs or DGs
@@rle1111 we make the lowest here in Cali we’ll starting start at $15 but after a year goes up to like $23

PUBLIX WALMART AND FOOD LION
😂😂😂 Publix is the worst
I have an interview tomorrow for reset specialist. How much different is merchandising from reset specialist?
@Big Donkey No. 🥺
@@conspiracy5810 why not
i wish 16.9s came in trays like that, the amount of plastic i throw out inna a day is crazy
lol you must work for coke or 7 up
Cokes 16.9s all come in plastic. Kalil too. Pepsis come in trays. Way easier.
do u drive your personal car or do u have to go to the like warehouse and get a company car?
A lot of them use their personal cars
Personal car, they pay per mile
On the half liters, plastic handles facing out
Job is easy what makes it harder is the recievers at the Walmarts makes your job harder lol
don’t forget about the asshole sales reps that over order more than you need so they can get fatten their commission checks with more money
Yeah like they want u to work harder 😅
Do you memorize what you need or do you write it down?
How many hours would you said you get a week?
How do you go on about making your list. Do you just count how many each product will fit in a particular location?
That’s how I do it.
How do you balance your breaks? Like lunches? Breakfast? Whenever you're hungry lol
I work for coke and honestly I don't take my breaks, unless its a slow day. If I'm hungry I wait until I'm driving to the next store I eat while I'm driving.
I work for Pepsi and I don't take breaks or lunches. But like the other dude said you take em when days are slow...like no load days...to get your hours. lol
We don’t eat while at work, we’ll at least me I don’t get a lunch break. I eat till I get home.
For new people starting hopefully u can get a good trainer. If u get a bad trainer it’s gonna be rough trying to learn everything. Everyone I’ve met at Pepsi been super nice and easy to work with im sure there are divks out there training tho
How many stores do you usually do a day?
@@queenjoa_5793 my route is 2 stores sometimes they have you go help someone else near you when your done with your route
How long was the training?
what do you need to get trained on.. jsut put the soda on the shelf.. how hard is that unless youre a retard
I have an interview next Friday, I'm really nervous it seems easy to do. Like stacking the drinks where they need to be, but idk a part of me is nervous and while I was filling out my application. The video popped up and it was how to do the job but I exited out so I could finish my application, I'm sure I'll be fine.
@@scrappykakaw3104 lmao
@@scrappykakaw3104 you're a troll
Just long days bro especially load days for your bigger stores, my big store is a Food 4 less non load days takes me like 2-3 hours to finish but on load days takes me around 4-5 hours
Did you get the job
@@scrappykakaw3104 lol... what!! are you doing slave labor??
Got me a interview in a couple days hope I get the job
Nice man, hope you got the job and is treating you well
I got offered an order replenishment merchandiser for a night shift 3pm-11:30pm for $25 an hour. Is it worth working nights?
What is training/orientation like and how long does it usually last?
A month
my training was 2 weeks, although i spent a year in the warehouse before coming out to merch so that likely shortened my training since i was already familiar with the company and the business
Doing the assetment on Friday, worked at City Market(Kroger) in the past
The back stock for the 12 packs is bothering the hell out of me lol I’m a merchandiser for 7up and my back stock has to be absolutely perfect, don’t matter what product it is everything has to have a spot and it has to be flavor stacked.
fuck 7 UP
7up is a dying company so you really shouldnt worry about flavorizing. You guys arent going to be around for long anyways and ontop of that 7up has small loads in comparison to its competitors (coke and pepsi) lol
@@sergiomerino1434 trust me 7up is not a dying company lol where I live 7up is popular as hell and it actually sells faster than coke and Pepsi lol.
@@williambasford2236 is it in Texas?... 7 up is popular over here!! lol.
@@sergiomerino1434 7up/dr pepper is actually big as shit in Texas. Look up where their brand new HQ IS AT. Right next to the cowboys practice stadium fuck boy!!!
Do this for 7up, not a bad job but I’m working on getting my CDL to become a driver
How many stopsdo you typically have in a route? also Miles per day ??? Thanks.
At my location we do 5 stops a day and it can range from 16 to 30+ miles a day pendin on the route
I was looking to apply at pesico ! How many stores do you do a day ?
2-3
Merchandiser is the dead worst job in the company. The pay is terrible, and the work is hard. Guys in the warehouse do the same work, but make twice as much. Trust me...I ran a massive Coca-Cola warehouse for years. Merchandisers were the rock bottom of the barrel.
Do you like Sierra mist and mug root beer?
How do you know what to put out ? Are you given a list or do you just what needs to be replenished and stock it out ?
Didn’t you see him make a list on his phone before he went to the back
For the most part you’re trained in the beginning to know what products belong to pepsi, then you work with what’s in the backroom or the load on delivery days
Yeah I make lists in my NOTES app on my iPhone. Always go around the store first and make your list then go to the back. Saves you a lot of time.
Got hired today for this position so now I'm here looking at what I'll be doing 😅
You’re gonna love it I started last week!
Is it worth working at pepsi?
@@RoboZombie44 ...I haven't started yet but they have really good benefits (health, dental, vision) a downside to the position i applied for they want me to drive my own vehicle to different stores per shift
@@derrickj127 ohh, i see
@@derrickj127 I was reading online they reimburse for miles is that true?
Might be different for you but why do you have so much odd shit with no truck for just one pull?
i have my interview tomorrow, i’m nervous! i want the job so bad honestly seems like my cup of tea i’m sure it’s frustrating at times but it seems like a somewhat easy job with good pay and good management :) wish me luck!! i hope i’m not too much of a weakling😂
Did u get the job? How do you like it?
“seems easy” please.
@@tyler7549 the labor won’t be easy. that’s a given. i meant the overview you just get to go in and do your job and just get it done and get out and repeat.
I was a beer merchandiser for In Portland Oregon area for most of my 20s and early thirty’s. Than at 37 I got the Pepsi merchandiser job in Portland area. Two months later I was at my old job for more money. The pay is great for someone right outta high school. Great healthcare
Also side note I might still be there if I didn’t work at current job. Didn’t I’d leave that job so quick. Also that music in background is horrible
i just front up the shelf and leave everything in the back so the next guy has to do it
man i swear, after working overnight grocery, it seems like vendor merchandisers have the cake job. Its just so easy. Im kinda jealous that those guys get paid more and dont have to spend nearly as much effort, time and energy stocking the shelves and best of all, dont get bitched at by management at all. Just keep the shelves full and then leave.
You’re wrong bro we have more managers on us supervisors, store managers, bosses from our supervisors
@@ericdiaz8464 lol kid. You dont know what you're talking about. You dont have to manage 60cph for 3 hours nonstop. Uncase, stock, block, pull riser. Get your trash. Then dump trash in baler. Sometimes you have to make a bale. And then jump into your next aisle till lunchtime. And then come back. Finish that aisle before the store opens. And then you got extra duties to finish before you can clock out.
Vendors all they have to do is count the merchandise that needs to be replenish. Go to the back and start picking off the backstock. Pull the 6wheeler. Throw the cart. And thats it. Its not even hard. Just make the shelves look good.
@@vicerichter1163 you do know we have to do multiple loads throughout the day… up to 10 pallets you stay at one place
@@vicerichter1163 plus you got coworkers to work with…
@@vicerichter1163 coming from a guy that worked in stocking at a grocery store as well saying from experience
Are you aloud to listen to music and stuff when your working?
no but people do it anyways . i do my job so my boss never comes out to check on me so i got my headphones in all the time sometimes the stores employees might say something tho
I got an interview tomorrow any advice on what I need to know bro?
Tip start this job when 20 not 40
I’m 37-38😅
I work for coke as of now. But I applied to work for Pepsi since they’re offering full time and $19 an hour. Is it pretty much the same? How long are your hours? Coke full time pays by the day
It varies on the region you're in. But for the most part we get our 8 hours and some OT time to time! I can't speak for coke because I've never worked for them.
@@romeoboarman7642 sounds better imo. They’re pretty much doubling everything for me. Pay and mileage. Went to the interview today hopefully I get it
i hear it’s mandatory 12 hours/ whenever yu finish yur work..so wat if yu go from 6am-6pm & still not done do yu keep workin after 12?
No it's not, are I should say it depends on the area or company. I work for coke and it's 8 hours but if work is thier you can go over time
How much you get average per mile for gas ?
@@jameskey8866 where I'm at its 50 cent
I’m getting .62
Here in my area you can get out early if you finished all your stops. But also you can leave until you finished all your stops. But they also send you help if you request it.
Do you need to drive a truck for this job?
Spin facing bottles is very key
i applied for this. i hope i get the job
are you built strong?
And did u get the job? :)
@@michaelvenne9386 why cause shes a girl? Is it thats bad I got an interview myself
@@MrStefanjaden13 Some men have it difficult on their back, even with decent muscle mass. But the main point is, it is mostly heavy most of the time.I've been doing this for 3.5 years now. We have 2% women and they are built strong
@@michaelvenne9386 Thank you, I recently got the job offer email but I also got one for a different company and I’m undecided witch job to take. I appreciate your feedback really puts a different perspective on my decision.
4 pallets bro , I get 12 to 18 daily at Walmart shee
Do you have to log in everything you put out?
No. its scanned out when its bought
Salesman or Weekend merchandiser ? Salesman have to work their stores like a merchandiser where I stay because I know some that do
No i’m a merchandiser, salesman do that normally if they have a small route or if they don’t have much merchandisers
@@romeoboarman7642 merchandisers where I stay just work weekends Friday - Monday , the salesman works Sunday - Thursday or Tuesday - Saturday orders like a salesman but has to work his store like a merchandiser … but I stay in South Carolina tho
Where is this at
What’s your route schedule ?
Do you manage to at least get your 40 hours per week? I was just wondering because they only tell you the hourly rate when you apply.
Actually it's not 40 hours, since Pepsi is the only one that still does the mandatory 6 day, if you work all 12 hours for 6 days, it's 72 hours.
What are the start times ?
@@Urgepick7068 I believe it depends on location. In bay area, earliest start is 4:30am, but usually they would say it's best to start between 5 or 6am, especially 9n days you have loads. It's due to deliveries doesn't get drop exactly on time as you see the ETA on your schedule for that day.
@@sn00p232 bro that’s far from the Truth i work for pepsi and they are on my ass about hours they’ve been telling us we can’t go over 40 or else they’ll take stores off of us to make out days shorter .
@@imthatguythatmakesdumbvide9330 sorry, I forgot to mention it depends which area you live in, because the California branch Pepsi is 72 hours a week, but I recently heard some weeks they only work 60 hours, or sometimes even just 40, but when I was woth pepsi, I was working 72 hours 6 days a week.
How many stores you have on your route ?
Idk for me it’s bout 3 to 4 store like Walmart and bing groceries store
@@yurano4617how
Many hours on average
Yo I’m trynna get in with Pepsi I’m in LA what all do you really have to do ? And how labor intensive is it ?
I’m in L.A and the work is brutal, if you joined, I’m sure you know this by now.
I'll tell you what working for Walmart or Winn Dixie is way harder than this ...period! getting $10 to $11 an hour versus just filling soda all day and getting $16 an hour sounds way better sign me up!
you don’t stock just soda they own way more than soda plus the sales rep always order way too much of it and you work all day by yourself
@@imthatguythatmakesdumbvide9330 go work for Walmart or Winn-Dixie and get back to me...lol.
I thought the same thing. It's a bit more work than just stocking soda. The pay isn't bad but the hours are crazy long at times and you're off when the job is basically done.
@@imthatguythatmakesdumbvide9330Thanks for giving me some peace of mind.... I live up here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 and was recently hired for Pepsi. On my 3rd day of training I was left completely alone and since then I've never got the rest of my training.. Yep sales rep orders way too much of other items like Starbucks, Pure Leaf Tea, Brisk, Montellier, Evian, Aquafina etc ... Way too many products sizes and formats. Sure it pays well but it's a headache when I go to big format stores like Walmart ... It's impossible to keep up.
And pay for Pepsi is 23.50 😂 sorry not doing all that for 16.00
You still working there brother ?
No he left. He's into body building now
My interview is on the 12th of this month in a few days💪🏾 I just moved from Chicago to Iowa do anyone in the comments section know if they do the 6 days here?
Are merchandisers supposed to be breaking the loads I heard that wasn't their job that the sales man is suppose to do it
Wym breaking
Why bother rotating Pepsi 12 packs? Has like 9 months sell by date on them. Just let it get hit on the weekend when everyone is shopping and then Monday morning pack out, maybe a rotate then
So true especially if you are in a crowded area there is no way anything will expire.
Spin your bottles for Presentation.
I feel bad for you it's a shit job lmfaooo. I did it for 4 months never again. I went back to trucking
