What do you like best about your company?

Learning about nutrition on my own and conveying what I learned into meaningful, and intelligent conversations with my customers.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

follow-up. For example, interviewed for an internal position, Leader said "get back with you in 72 hours" 5 days later; no word. confidence- local level managenent needs to stop sharing personal information about employees w/ store managers that have no authority save their own store.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

customers love gnc, especially our multivitamin. lets focus on building our brand, getting brand ambassadors. more knowledge, and the company needs to keep tabs on employees ethics, ways they sell, production, not let field reps have complete control over everything not make "pro and auto" everythin

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

the compensation does not fall in line with similar positions in the industry in the location. HR told me they have no authority in hiring, retaining, or compensation. leaving it all to immature and bias leadership to run cavalier operations,giving promised primotions without due and ethical process

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

co-workers need to focus on conversations relating to products, what they do, how to sell. instead too much emphasis on how to finnagle a "pro access" a 40.00 membership out of free loyalty members. i have witnessed foreign customers getting roped into this with the gm placing his address as theirs.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

An interest in an employees background and having them move on with GNC for the rest of their career. Absolutely no career development at the field level, and the field is run by very immature leaders which I don't think HR even vets as being degree holders or anything they claim to be.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

the leader who i interviewed with has had me working under him for 18 months, acted as if he had never had any contact or previous interviews for that matter. reached out to hr. i was shocked hr did not know my pay, what store i worked for, sales numbers..statin these field mngrs have exclusivity
