Pros

Great benefits package (company pays 2/3) and RRSP matching (to a point), for managers only. Great introduction to the supplement industry.

Cons

No benefits extended to non managerial staff, very little incentive for retention, manager salaries could be considered competitively low. There's no time for individual needs or ideas; just do what corporate wants or explain your failure. You risk a lot of flak, resistance, and stress if you attempt to go against the grain or try something new. Input is asked for but rarely considered during decision making. Turnover is high, lots of lateral movement but not a lot of growth for most individuals. Expectations can be quiet unrealistic at times with no considerations for regional demographics.

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.
