I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GNC (Overland Park, KS) in May 2014
Interview
They sat me down and asked the basic stuff you get asked in a retail sales associate interview. They asked me if I'd ever been convicted of a crime I said no. However, I did receive a diversion for a misdemeanor and they did not catch that on their "background check". I think it was the first time this manager interviewed someone. I just "mirrored" him and asked him about his life & he liked me and offered me the spot. It was easy.
Easy interview since the person really needed someone to hold the cashier position. All I had to prove was that I could do math and if I was available during the week.
Lied to during interview about bonus, never received any compensation. Non existent don’t count on getting anything other than hourly
Hourly pay is very low, not worth the effort due to manager responsibilities
The interview process was pretty straightforward and simple. If I might add, was very standard as well. Know a little about products and supplements, health and fitness, and you will be golden
