Pros

GNC management is only required to work 40 hours a week and may not exceed 40 hours, which leads to lower levels of stress. More over, GNC also provides great benefits to their full-time employees with little cost out-of-pocket. Competitive associates are able to move rapidly up among the ranks.

Cons

Commission and compensation and salaries for lower volume stores are not up to par with similar retail stores of its kind. More over, bonuses (although great) are unattainable at times due to inflated goals known as plans. In fact, commissions come and go without notice, thus making some sells at times a guessing game on compensation matters.

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.
