Pros

You will learn a good amount about nutrition and health while working here 👍🏽

Cons

You will practically use none of what you learn because the company is geared towards selling what ever products are trendy and meeting specific quotas . Not what will help the customer better there health . Take my word for it ; 7 years invested my time , I was offered many promotions but I decided to quit because I felt too guilty selling the products the company wants instead of the best products the customers needs for there health . Imagine selling a motorcycle to an old man because there’s a serious quota on motorcycles and pushing him away from the car he came in for because your bosses told you if you don’t your fired . Sounds unbelievable, but what do I know , right. Also most GNCs will ask you to work long shifts by yourself , so it gets really boring and depressing & if they catch you on your phone your fired .

Pros

Employee discount Subpar Supplements Subpar Vitamins

Cons

They don’t care at all for the customers or their employee. What the want is sales and want to cut hours. I was once told that a manager couldn’t work another store because their wife got into an accident. I said sure I’ll work a part of that shift. Later when I have a grandmothers funeral to go to I call the district manager, same one who called me up. I tell him my story and he essentially tells me that it’s up to me to deal with. Also in this conversation I find out he only wanted me to cover the shift so that way that manger wasn’t working to much overtime. Now I can’t get anyone to cover my shift because gnc cut everyone’s hours to avoid paying to much. My manger quit not to long ago so I have no guidance in what to do mind you I am still a recent hire and I was told to deal with myself after being willing to help out another store on false pretenses that it was an emergency. So now while I have an actual emergency I am told to deal with it myself by the district manager. Moral of the story gnc doesn’t care about it’s customers or it employees so high encourage you to work else where or buy else where. If you are someone who enjoys fitness and want to help people when it come to their health much like me then GNC is far from the place to do it. They care about sales not health.
