Pros

good discount on supplements quick acceleration up the corporate ladder flexible schedule opportunity to meet some really cool customers learning a ton through customer feedback

Cons

more or less forced to sell specific products, even if it's not what the customer really needs horrible pay, although it's because you "make commission" which is strange, because you don't actually make commission on the products you're forced to sell to make your KPI's lack of clear communication from upper management constantly changing sales promotions constantly training NEW associates, this is definitely a company that's proud to have high turnover "training" consists of pointing out which over-priced P3 products they need to sell, everything else comes with being on the floor, customer feedback, or looking it up yourself P3 used to be 30%, in my region they want it around 46%, which means i need to sell a vitapak or amp 60 to literally every other person who walks in the door

Pros

Generous discount, flexible hours, laidback

Cons

Colleagues will often fall to their lack of thorough training and lack of pay. Career progression is also a dead end when you hit store manager unless you want to give 5-10 years of your life to the company for hardly any pay.
