The place where I was hired to work at is great.

I do enjoy the fact that the overall message of the company is to promote health and wellness. If you can get past the low pay and work load, it is a good place to work if you like to help other people achieve their health and wellness goals.

Always looking to be better and praising hard work.

The customers and their stories about reaching their goals

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Stop stealing from the customer

Better pay and more benifts

Let people shop! Stop forcing them to buy stuff

The district manager doesn't have good people skills and I will not take much more

give shifts that aren't all day shifts. Give proper time off. Make co workers show up on time and help me with work

Review from Sales Dept

Allow employees to voice their concerns and keep those concerns private

Review from Sales Dept

Rid itself of the hostile work environment by ridding itself of horrible management. Starting with the procurement dept.

Review from Sales Dept

We are not sure that GNC will be a company in a year.

Review from Sales Dept

better updated systems instead of stone age systems

Review from Sales Dept

I think that this company needs to give a little more to the moral

GNC needs to focus less on only teaching managers to sell and more on retraining them to be managers. I have been taken advantage of way to much by my boss, she knows I'm nice too nice to say no. Maybe I should have put my foot down because she makes my anxiety act up.

Review from Sales Dept

Bullying needs to stop. Resentments happen when you are bullied.
