Pros

I like my co-workers, helping the customers get the best out of life and the 30% employee discount.

Cons

I will be putting in my 2weeks notice and have only worked for the company for 5 months. Extremely unorganized company with no room for growth. They force there ppl to lie to customers in order to achieve sales goals. There is NO support for sales associates who are only getting paid minimum wage. We are constantly are being threatened to lose our jobs if we fail to meet sales goal, yet the training is horrendous at best. They don't care at all about the ppl who work for them and because of that there is high turnover. Upper and senior mgmt are far removed from what's really going on in the stores. GNC will never be a top 500 company to work for.

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.
