Pros

I started working for GNC over 7 yrs ago and hourly pay was minimum but promotional money was great! Made great even with the min. wage and only .20 raise yearly. Which by the way, went down after 5 Years .10 cent raise and last raise was .07 cents after 7 years. Even after the Trump tax break for corporations! GO FIGURE!!

Cons

As I said above in Pro’s which guess was not a Pro hourly pay is the lowest and raises are a joke!! Promotional money on your sales of certain items use to be the main source of income. Now that promotional money’s is almost nonexistent, there is hardly any income with that low hourly pay. And believe me, they’ve got you working much, much harder for no pay!! And now hours have almost come to the point that it’s a complete joke to work there! Oh yeah I must not forget they also lowered our discount on employee purchases. So yes, after 7 years with GNC, I think it’s safe to say if they keep this up they will go under.

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.
