Pros
I worked for Nutra, the manufacturing division of GNC. Employee discount is great 40% and the majority of employees are absolutely wonderful to work with. Opportunities to get your hands on alot of different aspects of the job. Extremely interesting manufacturing process.
Cons
Nutra Manufacturing- GNC's manufacturing division -discount is only honored in full at corporate stores -facility is extremely lean & stressful with impossible expectations at times -promotions are almost non existent -compensation is benchmarked on "retail" even though this is a manufacturing facility. Pay is as competitive as it needs to be to retain talent -Because of compensation it is often hard to find candidates with the skill set needed to perform the job effectively and efficiently -Little to no budget for training/professional development -Political -Not much support from upper management or corporate on important issues -reactive environement vs. proactive -Everyone in the building has a chance at some kind of bonus except for support staff -Corporate does not communicate well & the same perks offered are not offered to other divisions
