Pros

Allowed me an avenue to learn from an experience what I chose to. Also I needed the management expereince to move on in the business world.

Cons

The sales pressure is insane for the amount of compensation. Not to mention the salary is low and the items that you do make commission on are not the items that GNC wants you to sell to meet sales goals. Obviously this creates a huge conflict of interest for sales associates not to mention leaves the customer, not always with the best product, but rather the product the store needed to sale to get its 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.
