Pros

Good employee benefits including medical, 401k although all corporate perks are not disiminated down to other divisions of the company.

Cons

I worked for the manufacturing division of GNC where the environment is staunch, oppressive and innovation is not the norm.

Pros

The pay is competitive. The customer flow is non-stressful, and apparently the margin is good. There are some well meaning co-managers.

Cons

My RSD has little time for his managers, and has, so far, offered nothing but negative reinforcement. "You had BETTER do......" was heard several times during a bi-annual meeting. (not so subtle threats?). You are expected to sell exactly what the company wants you to sell, and you and your part timers are expected to work alone at the store. You are given stated requirements for staffing, that are impossible to meet. You give a part timer a key to the business after minimal training, offer them commission, and then constantly badger them to sell things that they won't get commission on!
