Pros

Employee Discounts on supplements Flexible work schedule

Cons

Pay is pitiful. Weekly sales goals on everything. Here is a sample: P3 - 30%: These are premium GNC products. You must sell to 3 out of every 10 customers. At times very difficult. Gold Cards: 11%. You must sell a GNC card to a minimum 1 out of every 10 customers. Difficult. Multi-vitamins: 20%. You must sell multi-vitamins to 2 out of every 10 customers. Extremely difficult. OMS (one more sale) 5%. After customer has finished purchasing, you are supposed to add OMS which is a specific product that changes every week. Extremely stressful job. Mandatory conference calls for managers twice a week. The purpose of this call is to berate, goad, insult, humiliate managers to sell more. No respect for employees. Store Managers treated as slaves.

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.
