GNC pays not bad but it very boring job and you are expected to bring in huge sales with no help from head office.
Pros
You enjoy working in a healthy living retail store. Sales associates can move up into manager positions and managers can move into regional. So it is a good starter job. The pay is not bad and you can earn extra money by selling Gold Cards and certain products. The discount is ok but not great. It is a good job for a sale associate. that does not mind mindless work. You can learn a lot if you read books at work and talking to people. If you can sell lot of product you can make ok money. Great job for someone young.
Cons
Employees are treated like they don't matter. Hours for store managers suck and managers always get stuck working hours that they are not paid for. They will pay you but you get in trouble when if you had no choice but to work. I think a lot depends on the regional managers. The main ideas is to push products and gold cards onto people. I hate how people that I worked with that had no idea what they were selling would push products on people just to meet sales goals and earn money. Employees dress professional and so people think they have training but they don't. ......but I don't think the pay is worth the job. If you are looking for experience in supplement business or retail management is a good place to begin. Most people don't stay very long. It is very boring most days and most people I know spent most of thier time hanging on the counters and talking on the phone.
