Pros

If you're looking for a job that isn't too difficult vitamin world will not disappoint. The environment is very relaxed and usually you have time to really get to know and enjoy your co-workers.

Cons

There focus has become all about money. In the midst of a recession, they want you to sell on average $35 worth of vitamins and supplements to EACH and EVERY customer. Their expectations are not realistic. And while it's nice to set goals high, i don't believe that people's jobs should depend on meeting outrageous goals.
