Pros

Can be a fun place to work. When you are familiar with the products and what they do for the body, it becomes a piece of cake. Do your daily duties and go home, it's easy!!

Cons

The pay and promotional monies (a form of commission) is not enough to support a family.

Pros

Fun to talk to customers, great 30% discount, quiet at times, decent pay and benefits, commision program. Quick to promote.

Cons

Almost no comission for part time employees on GNC products, things that we are forced to sell! Too much pressure on store managers, not enough responsibilities for part timers. Everything falls on the manager, payroll, sales goals, training, emails at home computer, monthly planograms every month!, intense sale change every 2 months. Don't prepare you for management. Lots of sale pressure! Be prepared for the number one managers in your region to be fat smokers who would never take a multivitamin! They need to take a serious look at their stores. OMS program, P3 program, Gold Cards, Multivitamin percents, now emails and whatever is the flavor of the month?! What ever happened to these things coming naturally from talking and engaging customers!

Pros

The only good thing about this job is the 30% discount that employees receive. If you use these products, that is a good discount.

Cons

We are never allowed to work over 40 hours...on the clock. When a new sale needs to be set up, many managers must work late into the night (sometimes off the clock) to get it finished. The work we have to accomplish takes well over 40 hours. The current upper management has made it almost impossible to receive a yearly raise, even for the most seasoned managers and for the managers who hit every nearly impossible goal that we are given. Each month they are adding more and more sales goals for the stores. If you don't reach your goal you are written up. Many managers pay for product they don't want or need to hit the goals. We are expected to do everything...sales, paperwork, wash windows, wax the floors. Good luck getting the tools you need to do the job, unless you want to pay for them out of your own pocket.
