Pros

ability to make salary plus commission

Cons

Management makes it into a high stress sales job... not worth the money. Instead of giving people the best product for their money, you are forced to sell them GNC premier products. The company has aweful metrics for measuring sales goals. They all contradict eachother and different promotions alter the ability to meet sales goals. However the goals always remain anear the same numbers.

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.
