Pros

Laid back job. Sales quotas are easy to make. You can make a good amount in commissions during gold card week. Fun job if you're into weightlifting/bodybuilding.

Cons

Same as any retail job. Limited room for growth. Benefits are not great but you don't really need them if you're a student.

Pros

You learn a lot about supplements. Co workers so far have been really cool and fun to work with. Discount on supplements.

Cons

They push daily sale goals way too much. Store manager does a lot of giving orders and not a lot of doing much themself.

Pros

I liked the benefit package and the people I worked with were nice.

Cons

The corporation level demanded to much from its stores in every aspect. The pay was really low for Managers for what was expected of them. Very detached approach from Corporation to the store level. They need to step into the stores more often and see what its like to be at that level.
