Job Description

The Hershey Company is a globally recognized leader in the confectionery industry, known for producing some of the most iconic and beloved brands in America, including Reese's, Hershey's Kisses, Twizzlers, and Jolly Ranchers. Established over a century ago, Hershey continues to be a pioneer in delivering quality and innovation in chocolates and sweets, serving millions of customers across the United States and around the world. The company offers diverse employment opportunities and is committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace, honoring individuals of all backgrounds and identities.

This position is for a Part-Time Territory Sales Associate (TSA) based in Mount Pocono, PA, with a focus on flexible schedules that accommodate the candidate's personal needs as well as business requirements. The role involves representing Hershey’s products in assigned retail territories and building strong relationships with retailers to maximize product distribution and merchandising efforts. The TSA is responsible for driving their personal vehicle within the designated territory—which spans multiple zip codes in Pennsylvania—in order to service 6-10 or more store accounts daily. Although this is a remote position, candidates must be willing to commute and make in-store visits, ensuring top-notch execution of Hershey’s sales and merchandising plans.

TSAs will work approximately 20 to 25 hours per week under a continuous part-time schedule, generally during core business hours from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The role pays an hourly rate ranging from $15.50 to $16.50 depending on experience, skill set, and geographical location. The successful candidate will engage in key activities such as selling Hershey products, maintaining 100% distribution of authorized items, utilizing permanent secondary displays to promote top-selling items, and reporting daily and weekly activities through tablet technology. The position demands physical activity which includes the ability to lift between 10-40 pounds and have the dexterity to kneel, bend, or stoop while performing merchandising tasks.

Being a Territory Sales Associate offers an exciting opportunity to refine relationship-building and selling skills by working with some of America’s most exciting and fun brands. Candidates who thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy a balance of independence and teamwork will appreciate this role. Hershey’s commitment to equal opportunity means every application is given careful consideration, and reasonable accommodations are available to ensure access for applicants with disabilities. If you are ready to represent a respected brand and enjoy flexible work hours while making a tangible difference in retail merchandising, Hershey welcomes your application.
