Pros

- My team is very welcoming and helpful - Don't feel judged for needing help, everyone is willing to teach you new things - Growth-focused mindset with strong encourage of positive personal and organizational development - Team enjoys the work that they do - Currently trying to improve morale and culture

Cons

- Leadership changes business direction a few times a year and makes goals confusing - Projects are often killed, making time wasted and work done for nothing - Strict on local employees and rewards remote employees (local: does not pay for parking unless on-site more than required, no opportunity to appeal remote status, extremely large "hybrid" radius pulling employees from very far away, have to make up on-site days from vacation to keep average up vs remote: pays for flights to hq, hotels, meals, stipends, complete remote work with no issues and other benefits) - Low pay and bad benefits with no interest in increasing/improving - Small groups that end up being useless for work that is needed - Poor communication between departments

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your experience with GNC. I would love to meet with you to discuss your advice to management and some of your comments. With regard to your comment about hybrid vs remote, our radius is 35 miles. That is not extremely large. Most companies have a 50 miles radius. We do pay for parking for those who work onsite 3 days per week (on average). You are right about remote workers who are required to travel in with the exception of the executive team. Any of the executives that travel to the HQ pay for their own travel. You absolutely DO NOT have to "make up" on-site days from vacation to keep your average up. We look at a 3-month average knowing that there will be sick days, vacation days and holidays. Please contact me if you want to discuss: Tracy Notte tracy-notte@gnc-hq.com

Pros

Customers First policy. Treats employees with care and respect. Promotes transparency in all business matters. Christian based.

Cons

Some departments could use more help- need to hire more people. Goals program- employees' raises are base solely on the percentage of the additional goals in which they accomplished, when everyone knows that any potential raise should be based on the quality of work that one does.

Thank you for sharing your concern. We recognize that workloads are already demanding, and the intent of the Goals program is not to add unnecessary stress or extra jobs. Rather, it is designed to help employees prioritize what matters most, create clarity around expectations, and support personal development. It is also important to note that goals are a key component of the performance review process and are measured as part of overall performance. This year we started later than intended due to the ADP system implementation, but going forward goals will be written at the end of each year for the following year.
