I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GNC (New York, NY) in Dec 2017
Interview
The interview was very short lasting about five minutes and the manager therefore promised that she would call her regional manager (I knew who that manager was) and see if he can interview me. I waited a few days and nothing. So I called her manager and asked if she called him to schedule the interview; and guess what he said? She never called him and what’s worse is that she went on vacation 2 days after the interview. That was so unprofessional on her part. She needs to be more honest to those she interviews. Never again applying here.
Initial phone call describing the job duties and asking how I can fulfill those duties. Then an in person interview where I was asked about my product knowledge and sales experience. I was offered the job that day.

Question 1
A customer wants a product at GNC because they are loyal to the company, but the same product is on sale at a nearby store. Should you offer to sell it at the same price even though it is against company policy?
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at GNC (Charleston, SC) in May 2022
Interview
Brief and on the phone, simply checked your basic knowledge of the products you would be selling and make sure you are willing to learn. Most of the required information was trained on the job.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GNC (Thornhill, ON)
Interview
Interview itself was average, but the background work was intense. Interview was revolved around general questions such as availability, previous selling experience, any experience with supplements and health products etc. All references were contacted for lengthy discussions. A bit excessive for such an entry level job.
