Garden Center Associate - Part Time

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Company Overview and Description. The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: Company Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "Company Overview" is about the company, not role. Could be "About the role"? The description includes "The Garden Center Merchandiser serves as the face..." That's role description. So we could have a section "About the role" with that prose. Then "Responsibilities" list. Then "Qualifications" (maybe includes High School Diploma etc). Then "Skills" list. Then "Benefits" (they list benefits). Then "Pay" (salary $39,520). Also maybe "Schedule"? Not specified. They mention flexible schedule changes but not explicit schedule. Probably not include Schedule unless explicit. They mention "Availability for flexible schedule changes based on business needs". That's not a set schedule; we could skip Schedule. Also "Physical Demands" maybe part of Qualifications? Could be included under Qualifications or separate? The instruction only lists certain headings; we can add others? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems we should stick to those headings; we can omit others. Physical Demands could go under Qualifications or Requirements? Probably Qualifications includes physical demands. We'll embed that in Qualifications

or

. But Qualifications is a heading; we can put list items inside
. However Qualifications often includes bullet list. We'll do
• for each qualification item. We need to preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate: EEO, AI notice, application instructions, LinkedIn follow, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract content: Company Overview: paragraphs about Costa Farms. That's not role-specific but could be part of "About the role"? Actually "About the role" should be description of role. The company overview is separate but maybe we can include as part of "About the role"? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid adding a "Company Overview" heading, but the examples list those specific ones. Safer to include only those headings that have content. We could treat "About the role" as the role description (the paragraph after Description). The company overview could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit company overview. However we could incorporate it into "About the role" as a preamble? Might be okay to include a

  before headings? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include

  for prose anywhere. So we can have a

  containing company overview, then

  About the role

  with role description paragraph, then sections. Thus structure:

  Company overview paragraph(s)

  We must not include Schedule. Now extract specifics. Company Overview text: "We’re one of the world’s largest horticultural growers—but without an ego to match our acreage. Our headquarters are in Miami, Florida, where we were founded in 1961. Costa Farms started on just 30 acres, and over the last 60 years, we’ve grown to more than 5,000 acres around the world. We have farms in North and South Carolina, Central and South Florida, and the Dominican Republic, plus an office in China. Costa Farms now employs nearly 6,000 people: engineers, marketers, accountants/analysts, human resources professionals, and of course, growers and plant scientists! Here at Costa Farms, we live by the values of H3: being Humble, staying Hungry, and always Hustling. The team rallies to the mission of being a lean, green, growing machine dedicated to enriching the world by bringing plants into everyone’s life. True to that mission, we grow more than 1,500 plant varieties. Driven by the spirit of innovation, the team is always testing new plants and developing new solutions to make it easier for retailers and plant parents to enjoy plants.

You’ll support and be supported by a team that cares about each other, our customers, our consumers, and our community. You’ll also find right away that Costa Farms is committed to providing a diverse environment." We need to remove EEO statement later; but company overview includes no EEO. Good. Now role description paragraph(s) from Description: "The Garden Center Merchandiser serves as the face of Costa Farms in retail garden centers, playing a critical role in maintaining brand standards, optimizing product presentation, and ensuring our customers have a positive experience. This position is responsible for the care, display, and replenishment of our products in store, as well as maintaining accurate inventory and upholding Costa Farms’ high merchandising standards. Costa Farms has a Garden Center Merchandiser position in Garden Centers around Grants Pass, Phoenix and Roseburg, OR!" We keep that. Now Responsibilities list: from "RESPONSIBILITIES" block.

This role requires frequent standing, walking, bending, lifting, pushing racks, and reaching, and team members must be able to lift and move plant products or displays up to 50 lbs. safely. Merchandisers are expected to work independently and manage their time effectively while meeting merchandising and operational expectations. A reliable mode of transportation is necessary, as team members may be assigned to multiple retail locations within a designated territory. We could split Physical Demands and Work Environment as separate list items. Now Skills: from "Skills" block.

Also there is "COMPETENCIES" list: Collaborates, Communicates Effectively, Time Management, Accountability, Customer Focus, Dependability. Those could be included under Skills as well, but we already have similar items. Could add as separate list items but might duplicate. We'll include them as part of Skills list. Now Benefits: from "Costa Farms Offers Competitive Wages And Benefits, Including" list. - 401(k) Plan - Company 401(k) Matching Contributions - Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Account, and Dependent Care - Telemedicine/ Mental Health Services - Health Insurance - Dental Insurance - Vision Insurance - Pet Insurance - Supplemental Insurance (Aflac) - Growth Opportunities - Challenging and exciting work environment - Costa Farms Scholarship - Employee discounts on plants We should keep each as list item. Pay: Salary Description $39,520.00 Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, AI notice, LinkedIn follow, "Come Grow with Us™!", "Notice of AI Use in Job Application Review", etc. Also remove "All applicants must be work-authorized. Costa Farms will not sponsor any visa for this position." That's boilerplate? It's a requirement but maybe considered substantive? It's about work authorization; could be kept under Qualifications? But it's a standard statement; maybe we keep it as part of Qualifications? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Work authorization notice might be considered legal boilerplate; but it's a requirement. However it's typical; but we might keep it as it's substantive? The instruction says remove legal/EEO boilerplate. This is a legal statement about work authorization and visa sponsorship
