Job Description

Dietz & Watson is a renowned company committed to excellence in food service and product quality, specializing primarily in deli meat and cheese products. With a rich history of providing world-class sales and superior customer service, Dietz & Watson stands out as a leader in the food distribution industry. The company's vibrant and energetic work environment contributes significantly to its continuous growth and development, fostering a strong sense of family and dedication among its employees. Dietz & Watson places high value on employee talent and commitment, recognizing these as essential elements in maintaining its esteemed reputation and operational success.

The Full-Time Merchandiser role at Dietz & Watson is designed for individuals who are passionate about sales and brand representation within retail deli environments. This position focuses on assisting sales efforts while creating and enhancing brand awareness of Dietz & Watson products. The merchandising role necessitates a thorough knowledge of the product range as it relates to deli operations and involves frequent interaction with retail staff and customers to ensure optimal product presentation and availability. This position offers a full-time hourly employment status with competitive pay ranging from $18.00 to $21.00 per hour, based on experience, along with a variety of benefits and incentives that support employee well-being and job satisfaction.

As a Merchandiser, you will operate deli equipment safely, including deli slicers, and be responsible for the setup and rotation of deli cases to maintain product freshness and appeal. The role requires a solid understanding and execution of planograms and marketing displays, supported by Dietz & Watson's Point of Sale (POS) systems. Self-motivation and the ability to work independently or in a team environment with minimal supervision are key attributes for success. Effective time management, completion of necessary reports such as store surveys, and consistent coverage across assigned stores form critical components of the day-to-day responsibilities. The Merchandiser will also engage with customers and deli managers to cultivate strong relationships and deliver high-level customer service that reflects positively on the Dietz & Watson brand.

Furthermore, the role includes training new store deli employees on company products and merchandise strategies, ensuring consistent brand messaging and program participation. Merchandisers are expected to communicate important information to their managers, utilize sales data to maximize product distribution, and seek opportunities for sales growth collaboratively. Maintaining clean, sanitary workspaces and managing special projects outside the assigned territory are also important aspects of the job.

Dietz & Watson supports its employees with substantial benefits including weekly payroll through direct deposit, overtime opportunities, a monthly car allowance with expense reimbursement for select travel, and company-provided gas cards and cell phones. Additionally, the company offers a comprehensive benefits package featuring medical, dental, vision, prescription drug coverage, disability insurance, and a 401K plan. This array of incentives solidifies Dietz & Watson's commitment to its workforce, making it a preferred employer for those interested in a rewarding career in merchandising within the food distribution sector.
