Went through a Grieving process, after leaving my long time job with GNC.

Pros

Great training was provided. The concept was "relationship selling", there-fore, I bonded with many of my customers - they became like family and friends. Financial compensation peaked about 1/3 of the way through my years the: salary and commission was offered.

Cons

I think new hires are no longer able to get commission. The company would like flexable people: able to bounce from one store to another, working some day shifts, some night, some split. Loyalty and respect is expected from employees, but the corporation IS a corporation... those qualities aren't offered back to the emloyees.

Pros

The knowledge you attain, and the business model you learn is rivaled by non. Great way to learn how business works.

Cons

The pay is not good at all. You can have the best "results" in the world but unless you have your RSD in your pocket, they won't do anything to help you move up. They also have you do all the foot work for the company and not receive ample pay. I could work at a fast food restaurant for the same pay.
