GNC Sales Department Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

They are nice and friendly people.

Review from Sales Dept

Since new team took over, still waiting for them to show their actions.

Review from Sales Dept

I dont. I (female) was offered an assistant manager position at $9.69/hr while the last (male) assistant manager was making $12.60/hr. This is completely unfair and insulting. I would love to have an explanation for that.

Review from Sales Dept

I rated down the middle because I'm still pretty new and learning my place within The company and my region

Review from Sales Dept

They are very helpful and nice.

Review from Sales Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

The region manager micromanages all stores and does not permit them to act on their own accord

Review from Sales Dept

Helping employees and maybe saying good job once in awhile instead of always saying 1 more would be better

Review from Sales Dept

Being understanding that not everyone needs or wants a pro membership, customers are a lot more responsive to a kind smile and welcome back than a pushy associate trying to make them spend the money they work hard for.

Review from Sales Dept

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.

Review from Sales Dept

Taking employee suggestions not as a sign of disgruntled employee, but as just that-suggestions.

Review from Sales Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

The health benefits are good

Review from Sales Dept

All Benefits are good and satisfactory

Review from Sales Dept

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

Compensation Reviews

If my compensation for my time, service, and expertise was increases to a fair or acceptable level.

Review from Sales Dept

There were no benefits and i was being paid a measly 9 dollars an hour. thats pathetic

Review from Sales Dept

Cut throat environment and they push to much unreasonable goals and then even when you hit goals act like they coulda done so much better

Review from Sales Dept

If you want a employee to sell a certain number of memberships, you should probably pay a manger better than $13 an hour.

Review from Sales Dept

because my manager didn't do anything and he got paid more

Review from Sales Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

on the job support and morale

Review from Sales Dept

Friendly and so what helpful

Review from Sales Dept

They all of great attitudes and truly care about the customers and not just the sale.

Review from Sales Dept

We all take pride in what we do to keep our stores in great shape.

Review from Sales Dept

To help customers reach their fitness goals

Review from Sales Dept

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

Team Reviews

stop coming late and actually help me with work

Review from Sales Dept

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.

Review from Sales Dept

Initiative. Part time employees are paid minimum wage so you can expect minimum quality of work. Why should they lift a finger for unlivable wages?

Review from Sales Dept

They are extremely immature, unprofessional, and will cheat in order to meet the metrics

Review from Sales Dept

All about hitting numbers with a corporate attitude like GNC

Review from Sales Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

Fitness and health seekers flock here

Review from Sales Dept

My old manager that was forced to step down for no good reason

Review from Sales Dept

100% with out doubt the customers.

Review from Sales Dept

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

Review from Sales Dept

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.

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

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

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

sharing my experience and hearing theirs

Review from Sales Dept

It was quick and painless, if you like fitness your pretty much in.

Review from Sales Dept

The questions were easygoing and engaging

Review from Sales Dept

It was pretty straight forward

Review from Sales Dept

The aspect I liked the most about the interview was meeting the store manager and walking around the store and being showed the lay out and being asked questions and being able to ask questions.

Review from Sales Dept

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

Interviews Reviews

the interview process isn't bad, its the company itself. You wonder why you have so much employee turnover. Its because you dont pay them enough

Review from Sales Dept

Be real and make it about learning not how much you think a person can bride a customer

Review from Sales Dept

Make it harder to get into gnc because we are supposed to give health advice

Review from Sales Dept

Company needs to be more involved with how managers are treating employee's

Review from Sales Dept

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

Review from Sales Dept

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

assisting customers find the products they seek

Review from Sales Dept

Helping my customers reach their goals in fitness

Review from Sales Dept

The customers and the relationships that I build with them

Review from Sales Dept

Clients who come over and say thank you for making their lives better

Review from Sales Dept

Helping others and seeing them succeed

Review from Sales Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

your store overprices products and underpays staff

Review from Sales Dept

To much push to be a salesman and most employees didn't have proper knowledge be surprised how many times I sterred a customer towards and item just because I was educated on it and ppl sell pm items to people regardless of side effects cause they have no knowledge

Review from Sales Dept

no more all day shifts. coworkers and manager need to help do work

Review from Sales Dept

Mangers are treating employee's wrong by having them travel to other locations without compensation, such as mileage to travel.

Review from Sales Dept

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

Review from Sales Dept

What do you like best about your company?

Outlook Reviews

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

Review from Sales Dept

Friendly staff and environment

Review from Sales Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

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.

Review from Sales Dept
