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

Discounts aren't bad. Technically you're not allowed to take home products that have been returned by customers (and have been opened - thus unable to be restocked) but I don't believe that's a very frequently enforced rule.

Cons

Boring. No reason to upsell any of the products save for the ones that you are offered a commission on (which isn't many). Often you'll find yourself recommending products that may not be the best in their category simply because you're offered a commission for it.

Pros

Commissions; these allow you to sometimes substantially increase your paycheck, based on which products you recommend to your customers. Also, it can be rewarding to know that you're helping someone make a good choice for their personal health.

Cons

Customers can be hard to deal with, especially if you get the know-it-all type that appears to want nutrition advice, but really is just there to show that they know more than the average joe.
