      Pros

      Decent employee discount. Opportunity to learn about products and meet some really awesome people

      Cons

      Pay is a slap in in the face compared to the responsibility and the general negative tone. Customers are only the focus of business is good, but any retail slump and suddenly all employees are failures and the customers needs are irrelevant- agenda is now just make money at all costs

      Pros

      I was at a franchise one, and the manager there was one of the reasons why I was influenced to be such a great sales consultant. He was wise beyond his age and taught me strategies of how to sell products by accommodating with each individual to keep coming back. Yes the incentives for certain products were commission-based, but it's a rewarding experience seeing people come up to you, knowing you had a part in their lifestyle change/goal achievements. Very flexible and even if I worked all day, I still get out at 8/9pm depending on which location I was put at. The location also had great customers so that should definitely be a consideration if you were to work at a GNC.

      Cons

      Because I am a girl, there was a lot of judgment and doubt about how well I know a supplement or what they're trying to achieve between specific customers but I was able to convert ignorance and stubbornness through confidently stating facts and advice. There is definitely dead times throughout the day, but there should always be something to work on depending who you work under. Never really a rush but if there is, it may be overwhelming if you're new and alone.

      Pros

      New GNC effort, which started 12/28/2016, to turn around the company's fortunes is receiving good early reviews. There are many talented folks that work at GNC that are willing to follow good leaders.

      Cons

      Honorable mission to promote healthful lifestyle products but most employees have no ownership granted to them...highly bureaucratic. Check stock price history.
