Pros

As a company they employ people.

Cons

GNC is fueled by bullying, fear, gross incompetence, and above all else, delusion. It is an awkward, hollow leftover of a 'company' that has been owned 100% by Chinese Pharama (Harbin group) since GNC declared bankruptcy in 2020. Widespread incompetence and toxicity aside -- the biggest warning I would issue is for any creatives, especially creatives in comms and marketing (designers, writers etc.) This place chews up and spits out their Creatives. It lacks understanding or appreciation for writing, strategy, content, any type of communications planning. If you work in copy/comms/marketing and care about your career/life/happiness as a writer and person who creates, I WOULD ESPECIALLY CAUTION YOU TO STAY CLEAR. Toxic. Exploitative. Deceptive.

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.
