What are Seasonal Merchandise Handlers?

Seasonal Merchandise Handlers are temporary employees who assist with the stocking, organizing, and movement of products in retail stores or warehouses during peak shopping periods, such as holidays. Their main responsibilities include unloading shipments, restocking shelves, preparing merchandise for display, and sometimes assisting customers.
