Pros

Good discount if you work out and use supplements. Opportunity to make a little more than minimum wage. Not many pros to list off.

Cons

Strict sales goals and strong focus on selling GNC products. Management looks for any opportunity to write you up and little recognition for when you make your sales goals. GNC products make you no commission so your sale numbers suffer and you get chewed out for sale 3rd party products that make you money. Very easy to make mistakes even when you have worked there for a long time especially if your store is very busy. Any mistake worth getting wrote up for will get you a write up. High employee turnover, constantly firing and having to hire new people. Stores only have a few employees so if your sick with a fever look forward to working if your scheduled cause theres nobody thats able to work last minute. Merchandising is always messing up on sales tags so you are constantly changing them or customers get mad because the ticket price is wrong.

Pros

The job provides excellent exposure to a structured sales plan for someone new to sales. The store gets plenty of foot traffic to create opportunities for customer engagement. The varriety of products to sell on is great as well. Pro Access is a great value for customers building a pre and post work out regiment or building a supplement routine.

Cons

You run the show. While there you are responsable for running the store.
