Pros
Only a 40 hour week for a store manager is a plus - really 39.5. If you have a good staff the operations of the business is not usually too hard either. You could possibly learn a good bit about supplements - your own health could benefit.
Cons
Low pay as a store manager. The expectations are that you will have at least a $32 average sale (the company average is supposedly $37 which is the goal). The newest directive is to terminate a new employee who does not have at least a $30 average in the first 30 days, or $32 in the first 60 days of employment. A tall order for a new employee!!! Store managers will now be written up and terminated along with associates for poor mystery shop results (your associate could get you fired - if they are part time and really dont care for thier own job!). The sales aspect is fine for a job that pays $60 and up but the pressure and work involved to get the "average sale" where they want it is far too great for at BEST $40-$2 a year. Most managers will see $32-$35 a year It is about pushing products on your customers regardless of thier needs or health condition. To make it fun the company puts out 40% to 50% off coupons on a regular basis in addition to $ off "bonus rebates" that can be used together. You can get a $40 bottle of supplements for $7... And this will happen several times a day. Good luck with that average - and keeping your job...I buy my supplements from a competitor because I dont want to hurt another employee with a sale of under $35. Does that make sense? Many sales are turned away when possible because the customer does not want to spend at least $30. I estimate the company looses almost MILLION dollars a year this way (over 400 stores turning away two $3 sales a day minimum).
