Pros

A lot of free time.

Cons

-Poor compensations -No monetary incentives(You could sell 300 P3's and not make a dime) -GNC now takes .25 cents an hour out of your GNC comissions(which is ironic because you can only make money off of selling gold cards. -Upper management are a bunch of useless puppets -The company makes so much money, but refuses to share any with the people doing the REAL work and selling their bogus products. -Unrealistic sales goals -Pushing every new GNC product, Multi-Vitamin-, or P3 on unsuspecting customers. -You have to dress like you're some sort of professional, but you're still making minimum wage. -You only make money on 3rd party products, but you're not encouraged to sell them. -You don't make any money selling GNC products, but you're required to sell them to everyone. -You have a list of 6 or 7 things to do to harass the customer before they even pay.

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.
