GNC Sales Manager Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Review from Sales Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
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
Easy going can answer all of my questions.
Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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
If they could focus less on selling pressure and think about helping people instead of commission that'd be awesome. Flat rate commission isn't too hard but i bet your muscletech reps wouldn't like it.
Review from Sales Dept
Improving employee trust and relationships
Review from Sales Dept
Taking employee suggestions not as a sign of disgruntled employee, but as just that-suggestions.
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
What is the best part about your compensation package?
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?
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
Driving to other stores without mileage is wrong.
Review from Sales Dept
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
Review from Sales Dept
$12 per hour is awful pay for a full time manager. Especially when you pull the load for the store, train, hire, recruit, place orders, make sure goals are met. They ask too much for the pay you get. Unrealistic goals. At a fast food restaurant you start out at $12, and target starts at $15? Smh.
Review from Sales Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
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
The store manager is very flexible with hours and times, and always giving advise and tips and trips on how to interact with customers effectively.
Review from Sales Dept
they weren't around, like at all
Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
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?
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
toxic sales environment you know the kind
Review from Sales Dept
Interacting with customers and helping
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
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.

The questions were easygoing and engaging

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
That it was very simple
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
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
I would actually have Human Resources verify the validity of the people that state they have bachelors degree and other certificates.
Review from Sales Dept
Change management to have multi interview

I like the work. Helping customers and making money!
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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
Instead of keeping stores in shopping malls, move them to high traffic areas such as near gyms, shopping centers, near restaurants, etc. my store averages 5 customers a day. Even on a Friday. When you suggest this the company looks at you like a joke. Waste.
Review from Sales Dept
Corporate philosophy is Fake and caters to the uneducated
Review from Sales Dept
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.
Review from Sales Dept
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.
