(USA) Merchandising Lead
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Position Summary... What you'll do... (duties). That's responsibilities. - Then later: "Assists management with the supervision of associates..." etc. That's also responsibilities. - Then "Receives and stocks supplies..." etc. Also responsibilities. - Then "Maintains safety..." etc. - Then "Ensures maintenance of the sales floor..." etc. - Then "Monitors food and merchandise quality..." etc. - Then "Oversees the picking and staging..." etc. - Then "Develops communicates and implements processes..." etc. - Then "Demonstrates promotes and supports compliance..." etc. - Then "Leads and participates in teams..." etc. - Then a bunch of values statements (Respect the Individual, Act with Integrity, Serve our Customers and Members, Strive for Excellence). Those could be considered part of responsibilities or maybe "Skills"? But they are more like competencies/values. Could be placed under "Skills" or "Qualifications". However we need to avoid filler. - Then benefits section: "At Sam's Club, we offer competitive pay as well as performance-based bonus awards and other great benefits..." then list health, financial, PTO, other benefits, Live Better U. - Then pay: "The hourly wage range for this position is $21.00 to $29.00*" plus premium info. - Then Minimum Qualifications: Must be 18 years of age or older. 6 months retail experience AND 6 months customer service experience. - Then Preferred Qualifications: Leading a team, Supervising experience to include hiring, evaluating, mentoring, developing, and managing the workload of others - Primary Location: address. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Thus sections: Responsibilities (maybe "About the role" could be summary but we have duties). Could use "Responsibilities". Could also have "About the role" as a short paragraph summarizing? But we have a long paragraph of duties; we could treat that as responsibilities. We could have sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe split into Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills? The values statements could be under Skills or maybe under "About the role". But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine values into Responsibilities as part of duties? They are more about behaviors. Could create a section "Skills and Competencies" but we need to see if we have enough content. The values statements are several bullet-like sentences but not bullet list. Could put them under a
within Responsibilities or under a separate "Skills" section. Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. That's four sections. We need to include location? Could fold into a short
under Qualifications or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably better to put location in a
after Qualifications or as part of a small meta section but we should not create a heading for it unless we have a heading like "Location". Not in allowed headings list. So we can just include location as a
after Qualifications without heading. We must not repeat job title. No markdown. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all duties text, benefits text, pay text, qualifications text, location. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Walmart and its subsidiaries are committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace..." that's legal/EEO? It's a policy statement. Should we remove? It says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The drug-free workplace policy might be considered legal boilerplate. Probably remove it. Also the line "Walmart and its subsidiaries are committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace..." is likely boilerplate. Remove. Also the line "Primary Location...1000 N WESTHILL BLVD, APPLETON, WI 54914-5792, United States of America" we keep. We need to format duties as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are currently a long paragraph with many sentences. We need to break them into list items. Each duty statement separated by maybe spaces? We need to parse.
The duties paragraph: "Provides member service by acknowledging the member and identifying member needs providing guidance and support to members regarding selfservicetechnology assisting members with purchasing decisions locating merchandise resolving member issues and concerns and promoting thecompanys products and servicesAssists management with the supervision of associates in assigned area of responsibility by assigning duties to associates communicating goals andfeedback training associates on processes and procedures providing direction and guidance to associates on member service approaches andtechniques to ensure member complaints and issues are resolved according to company guidelines ensuring compliance with company policies andprocedures supporting the Open Door Policy: and participating in recruiting hiring scheduling promoting coaching and evaluating associatesReceives and stocks supplies and merchandise from distribution centers and vendors throughout the facility and organizes and maintains the salesfloor by utilizing equipment merchandising and completing paperwork logs and other required documentation according to company policies andproceduresMaintains safety of facility according to company policies and procedures by conducting safety sweeps following procedures for forklift spotting andhandling and disposing of hazardous materials following company steel standard guidelines and correcting and reporting unsafe situations tomanagementEnsures maintenance of the sales floor and merchandise presentation in accordance with company policies and procedures by properly handlingclaims and returns zoning the area stocking arranging and organizing merchandise setting up cleaning and organizing product displays removingdamaged goods signing and pricing merchandise according to company policies and procedures identifying shrink and damages and securingfragile and highshrink merchandiseMonitors food and merchandise quality by ensuring product rotation code dating product recalls and sanitation standards are followed according tocompany policies and procedures merchandising area categories and stocking zoning and cleaning all departmentsOversees the picking and staging of club pick up orders throughout the day and ensuring products are selected and staged according to companypolicy and proceduresDevelops communicates and implements processes and practices to meet business needs by collaborating with managers coworkers customersand other business partners analyzing and applying information from multiple sources monitoring progress and results and identifying andaddressing improvement opportunitiesDemonstrates promotes and supports compliance with company policies procedures and standards of ethics and integrity by explaining guidingand demonstrating how to apply these in executing business processes and practices implementing related action plans using the Open Door Policy: and assisting management with correcting ethical and compliance issues and problemsLeads and participates in teams by using and sharing resources information and tools determining customer needs and business prioritiescoordinating and executing work assignments providing advice feedback and support to ensure timelines and work quality are achieved andmodeling and helping others with how to adapt to change or new challenges Respect the Individual: Embraces differences in people cultures ideas and experiences creates a workplace where associates feel seen supported and connected through a culture of belonging creates opportunities for all associates to thrive and perform helps to attract the best talent Respect the Individual: Works as a team builds strong and trusting relationships communicates with impact energy and positivity to motivate and influence Respect the Individual: Strengthens the team by helping developing and mentoring others recognizes others contributions and accomplishments Act with Integrity: Maintains and promotes the highest standards of integrity ethics and compliance models the Walmart values to support and foster our culture holds oneself and others accountable supports Walmarts goal of becoming a regenerative company by making a positive impact for associates customers members and the world around us Act with Integrity: Acts in a selfless manner and is consistently humble selfaware honest fair and transparent Serve our Customers and Members Delivers results while putting the customer first Serve our Customers and Members Makes decisions based reliable information balances short and longterm priorities and considers how own work impacts the teams ability to deliver on our purpose for all stakeholders Strive for Excellence: Displays curiosity and a desire to learn takes calculated risks and demonstrates courage and resilience Strive for Excellence: Drives continuous improvements is open to and uses new technologies and skills and supports others through change"
We need to split into sensible list items. Could break at each major verb phrase before a capital letter? The text is messy with no spaces. We need to infer separate duties.
Better approach: Keep as a single
for responsibilities? But rule says: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we have a paragraph that is not a list, we could keep as
. However the instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." So if the duties are not presented as a list, we can keep as prose (
). The original posting is a paragraph (though it's a run-on). So we can keep as
. That satisfies rule: we are not forced to make a list if it's not a list. However we might want to break into list for readability but not required. Thus we can put the responsibilities block inside a
. Similarly for qualifications we could keep as
or
- . The qualifications are listed as sentences: "Must be 18 years of age or older. 6 months retail experience AND 6 months customer service experience." That's two sentences; could be
. Preferred qualifications: "Leading a team, Supervising experience to include hiring, evaluating, mentoring, developing, and managing the workload of others" could be
. Benefits: The benefits paragraph includes multiple sentences; could be
but also includes list-like items: "Health benefits include medical, vision and dental coverageFinancial benefits include 401(k), stock purchase and company-paid life insurancePaid time off benefits include PTO, parental leave, family care leave, bereavement, jury duty, and voting. You will also receive PTO and/or PPTO that can be used for vacation, sick leave, holidays, or other purposes. The amount you receive depends on your job classification and length of employment. It will meet or exceed the requirements of paid sick leave laws, where applicable. For information about PTO, see https://one.walmart.com/notices. Other benefits include short-term and long-term disability, company discounts, Military Leave Pay, adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, and more. Live Better U is a company paid education benefit program for full-time and part-time associates in Walmart and Sam's Club facilities. Programs range from high school completion to bachelor's degrees, including English Language Learning and short-form certificates. Tuition, books, and fees are completely paid for by Walmart. Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to a specific plan or program terms. For information about benefits and eligibility, see One.Walmart at https://bit.ly/3iOOb1J." We could keep as
. Pay: "The hourly wage range for this position is $21.00 to $29.00* The actual hourly rate will equal or exceed the required minimum wage applicable to the job location. Additional compensation in the form of premiums may be paid in amounts ranging from $0.35 per hour to $3.00 per hour in specific circumstances. Premiums may be based on schedule, facility, season, or specific work performed. Multiple premiums may apply if applicable criteria are met." Could be
