Business Outlook

Pros

+Generous commission +Generally pleasant customers +Can often read on the job is housekeeping stuff is done +Opportunity for promotion As with most retail jobs turnover is high, so if you stick around long enough you do get some privileges from higher ups. Some of these include moving to a higher traffic store (more commission),

Cons

-Sales targets were at times a little unreasonable (though unless you under-perform for months at a time nothing will come of it) -Rules and bureaucracy can be suffocating, highly dependant on your manager -Management will assume you're going to steal merchandise so you need to log everything you do

Pros

This is your typical retail sales job. It is a good outlet for those looking to gain knowledge of the sports nutrition and general health and wellness field. This job will give young people coming out of school who are looking to gain some customer service skills and learning how to sell.

Cons

The company has high expectations for sales staff. There are many sales quotas in different areas and hard to reach sales goals. This is a saturated market and the expectations from corporate are sometimes not conducive to the actual marketplace. The focus is on select items that are high margin and the typical push for increased sales compared to previous years.
