Pros

Write my own schedule. ( If you truly care about nutrition ) it’s rewarding to help customers and educate them while stacking the right products for the right results.

Cons

Very low pay for store manager work ($12 an hour) Lots and lots of stress!!! Dealing with part-timers who are paid $7.25 and don’t care about their job or nutrition. Must work weekends. Must call store everyday ( even if your off ) to check on employees. Must be on call: for any issues at your store while your not their. ( incompetent employees ) I was promoted within two months. I started out part time as a sales associate and they did things they were not supposed to do like give me a store key and make me open/close my first week by myself. On a personal note every time I’ve ever been into a GNC it’s been a bad experience. You’ve got employees in the back room chilling whole time not doing any of the work they’re supposed to do. You’ve got them sitting in the managers chair at the cash register texting. Literally some of the worst customer service I have ever seen has been at GNC. They just don’t train their people well enough to be prepared to handle complex transactions. Part-timers screw around all day. I’v caught one smoking weed in Woodbridge, Va.

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.
