Pros
Great to help people 30% employee discount
Cons
Terrible regional manager, ridiculous goals: causes everyone to be pushy since your paycheck is defined by your sales. One month oxeyelite gives you a commission of $7.50 per unit sold, the next it's $3 and another product has a higher commission so it causes inconsistencies with what we sell. They pay sales associates minimum wage plus commission but not on gnc brand, yet associates have very unrealistic goals to hit with multivitamins(14%), gold cards(14%), p3's(40%)(gnc brand products that are so expensive and keep going up), and oms(those chews that you're offered are "one more sale items and are supposed to be offered to every single customers bc the goal is at least 5% of all sales). If you hit these minimum goals, you don't rank anywhere near the top and you get phone calls all day long to get these numbers higher even though you've made goals. No congratulations...no good job...simply do better! The regional manager, Brian Houston is probably the laziest person I've ver met. He relies on maybe 3 of the best stores to keep his numbers decent and let's the low volume stores get away with having the worst numbers ever. He takes credit for everything while he visits 2 of the 23 stores he has and just hangs out with the managers while he gets his single district manager to do everything while running the highest volume location. If you're not at a military location, the pay is not worth working at GNC period. If you're part time at a high volume store, getting promoted to management at a low volume store is really a huge pay cut!
