Pros

Company offers 30% off for employees at all GNC stores nationwide. You also have the opportunity to learn a bit about nutrition and nutritional supplements as part of your job.

Cons

Many entry level positions start out as full-time, temporary position. Temp employees are hourly, must punch in and out on a time clock, and receive not benefits: no health insurance, no paid days, nothing. Additionally, the company is somewhat stingy. Departments are limited to a list of only 300 office supplies they are allowed to order. If an employee needs supplies outside the 300 item list, special permission is required. It's like pulling teeth just to get basic items.

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.
