So i recently got hired with Hershey’s as a sales rep. only part time for now ($12/hr, mileage, and limited expense account) because i dont graduate till december, but when i do i get bumped up to full time pretty much automatically. full time is generous plus a car (impala or subaru outback) insurance, gas, expense account, the works. plus they have a bitchin 401k (they match 75% of my contribution up to 15% of my paycheck.) i work on my own so i dont really have a boss, i work whenever i feel like it as long as i hit my hours for the week. basically all i do is go store to store and check their inventory, pull out of date items, and help them place orders. occasionally i will try and sell them something they dont currently stock, or sell promotional/limited edition stuff (ie. those huge back to school and halloween crates you see at like target and walmart.) the job itself is fairly easy, just a lot of driving, paperwork, and analyizing sales sheets and store numbers and such. FYI, the following items are all Hershey’s products: ice breakers gums and mints, bubble yum, hershey’s chocolate, reese’s, kit kat, york peppermint patties, almond joy, mounds, skor, heath, whatchamacallit, payday, 5th ave, cadbury, mr goodbar, krackel, take 5, zagnut, zero, good n plenty, whoppers, milk duds, mauna loa nuts, rolo, twizzlers, jolly ranchers oh yeah, and i am constantly getting samples consisting of fairly new items that havent had much exposure yet, to things that arent even on the shevles. 1 shipment of many that ive recieved this month consists of 5 boxes of gums and mints totalling 140lbs with a retail value of a lot. pics coming when i get home from class tonight. ---

haha, dental…not sure. i havent gotten much paperwork yet on the health insurance. my part time gig is local, but i may be relocated when i graduate depending on where theres an open position. relocating is sweet though because they give you a ~15% pay raise plus a healthy cash bonus (~$7k if you rent an apartment, up to $25k if you own a home.) plus they will buy your house for fair market value if you cant sell it in time to move. ---

i could care less if people know i make $12/hr. as far as FT salary, considering it could go up or down depending on a lot of variables, it doesnt need to be a secret. its a ballpark number and im sure anyone who is curious could find out what a sales rep makes. ---
