Pros

Part-Time hires will make a base salary then commission. Depending on location, comission + base salary = 14.00 up to 17.00/ hour. Job is a great way to improve face-to-face sales experience and dealing with a variety of customers. "Full-Time" hires, aka managers and higher-ups only benefit the most; base salary, comission, a % of comission will be added from staff sales, bonus' for meeting/exceeding company goals, vacation pay, sick leave and affordable benefits. This goes without saying, the company offers competition to drive sales where all of staff will benefit; cash prizes, trips, etc.

Cons

False advertising of gnc hiring new employees. Stated on store banner(s) that they offer benefits. Benefits are offered to full-timers, and full-timers are only Managers and higher-ups. For students, or anyone looking to have a part-time job w/ benefits will not 'qualify'. Some store-managers are poorly trained, do not know there policies and at times lack in business etiquette which ruins the companies image. Appear's that some upper-management will avoid conflict and will send them to other upper-management staff to handle the situation, opposed to handling the situation accordingly through protocol. Spoke with staff who have worked 2+ yrs with GNC and found out that they have not had a raise since there date of hire. Very scary.
