GNC reviews

First and foremost, the ridiculous goals and demands this company expects is beyond ridiculous. They are constantly changing the goals and raising them higher and higher with no regard to the fact that we are in a recession and people simply do not have the money to drop 200 bucks on their overpriced products. Second, is the fact that they are entirely too micromanaged. The bad part about it is the RSDs and the SSMs are absolutely clueless. Their solution to not hitting your goals is a write up slip that says more training needed. However, when you ask these individuals for help, they don't show up, or try to pass the buck on to somebody else. Recently, the manager at our store got fired because of poor numbers. We live in an area that is considered to be the most depressed area in our state. People simply do not have the cash. However, we are expected to keep pace with other stores that are located in a more thriving area. Then they bring in a new manager that is more concerned with numbers in the store instead of the appearance and organization of the store itself. He's a major "company man" but his numbers and percentages aren't that much better than the previous manager that they fired. His way of doing things, he fired an individual for leaning up against the counter why doing a new planogram in the store. Within an 8 month time period, there has been a turnover of 5 people in this store. When I worked there, we went 5 years without a new employee and the store was still profitable and we all had a great working relationship with our customers. People trusted us to steer them in the right direction. Today, however, it seems that GNC and this staff currently in this store are more worried about ripping customers off, not caring about customers actual wants or needs, and basically robbing people blind of their hard earned cash through pushing towards things that they either don't want or they don't need.
