Pros

Generous discount . Superior products. Casual dress code . Some truly amazing and talented people In field but are stifled by oppressive and aggressive Sr Leaders . Co. Vehicle, Insurance, Gas Card

Cons

Working at GNC is like being in an E.R. And watching someone try hopelessly to resuscitate a patient that should have been called an hour ago. It's painful and sad to watch or experience. As they gasp for breath, all sense of leadership, people, culture, values, and integrity have been thrown out the window. Expected and directed to work 14 hour days and 7 days a week including during your paid holidays and vacation ( no joke). Only enough payroll to keep store open with 1 coverage. Zero hours to train SM's or associates for complex product knowledge and selling environment . If someone calls off or no shows the store doesn't open and RSD job is threatened. Store level benefit time is not funded . Time earned and redeemed in stores from bereavement to vacation is held against RSD and creates environment designed to dissuade use of the benefit time people allegedly earn. Reminded constantly that you can lose your job for various reasons and about how highly you're paid ( sincerely some of the most grotesque leadership practices since the '80's. )

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.
