I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GNC (Waterbury, CT) in Oct 2014
Interview
I filled out an application online and had recieved a call back winthin a week or so. The call simply consisted of scheduling an interview. The manager who conducted the interview was pleasant to speak to and I believe that the interview went quite well. Toward the end of the interview I was told that I would be contacted within a week and that if I was not to call them. I waited the week and then I called however an employee had answerd the phone and told me that the manager was "on a garbage run" and that she would notify the manager of my call as soon as the had returned. I had never recieved a call back after that so I am assuming that they did not want to hire me which I was quite dissapointed about because It seemed like the kind of company that I would have liked working for.
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

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.
