Pros

The job is easy. If you know your products, your hourly rate has the potential to skyrocket through the roof. Good source of income for college students looking to get by.

Cons

Forced to up sell customers. For example, I do not agree with shoving products in the customers face if they are coming in looking for a protein bar or an energy drink. I am pretty sure GNC is going downhill and the upper management is pressuring the sales associates to bring the company back up. There are not many opportunities for advancement and lunch breaks are non existent.

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.
