Pros

Employee Discounts on supplements Flexible work schedule

Cons

Pay is pitiful. Weekly sales goals on everything. Here is a sample: P3 - 30%: These are premium GNC products. You must sell to 3 out of every 10 customers. At times very difficult. Gold Cards: 11%. You must sell a GNC card to a minimum 1 out of every 10 customers. Difficult. Multi-vitamins: 20%. You must sell multi-vitamins to 2 out of every 10 customers. Extremely difficult. OMS (one more sale) 5%. After customer has finished purchasing, you are supposed to add OMS which is a specific product that changes every week. Extremely stressful job. Mandatory conference calls for managers twice a week. The purpose of this call is to berate, goad, insult, humiliate managers to sell more. No respect for employees. Store Managers treated as slaves.

Pros

The job provides excellent exposure to a structured sales plan for someone new to sales. The store gets plenty of foot traffic to create opportunities for customer engagement. The varriety of products to sell on is great as well. Pro Access is a great value for customers building a pre and post work out regiment or building a supplement routine.

Cons

You run the show. While there you are responsable for running the store.
