Pros

It's a good job to have if you're in school. The schedules are very flexible. The job is pretty easy as well. As long as you're willing to learn about the products, you will have no trouble.

Cons

The pay isn't great unless you work at a high volume store. They give you a raise after working there for a year, but the raise is pretty much a joke.

Business Outlook

Pros

A franchised GNC is more laid back than working for a corporate owned GNC store. As an employ, my bosses give me 40% off products. My employers are great and have given me a $50 restaurant gift card every Christmas since I started working for them.

Cons

I can't get enough hours. I will never be able to rise above anything but a sales associate in a franchised store.
