Pros

I did enjoy my time working with GNC. They give you the Opportunity to expand your knowledge in the health feild, if you are interested in. Also there are good benefits when you reach management level. They also have descent discounts for employees.

Cons

Upper management doesn't know how to communicate professionally and clearly. Constant demand for high sale goals, without any consideration of the current economy. I would have enjoyed working for this company more if the upper management was better at being professional. They are very untrustworthy and do not communicate their expectations well. They also cause a lot of "high school" drama and involve their personal life too much with their "professional" life.

Gain knowledge in nutrition. Increase skills in sales.

Cons

LOW pay. Limited mobility. Commission on sales is low and only on selected products (managers get better commission rates).

Pros

1. If you are in the sports medicine field, this will help increase your knowledge dramatically. 2. You learn one on one interaction skills. 3. You make your paycheck. (low volume or high volume...if you know how to talk to people you can sell them pm items) 4. You learn how to manage a business by being the only employee working at any given point of time. 5. When you advance, decent raise along with 401k and benefits. 6. When you advance, you gain more products for pm. All in all, unless you are a motivated person, you will make it nowhere with this company and will more than likely quit within a few months. On the other hand, if you prove yourself to management, your success will continue to rise along with your paycheck.

Cons

1. Minimum wage as a starting rate is horrible anywhere. 2. If you are unsure of the products, you should not be working here. I have coworkers that know nothing about the products they sell and have more returns than some employees have sales. 3. If you do not have good people skills, you will not make it long. 4. You do not get trained as well as you should as the hours are not provided. I was trained in a total of 8 hours over 4 days. Thankfully my major is Kinesiology. 5. The work can be monotonous
