Pros

Millions will be spent in 2022 on capitol improvements / Wages are at or above average for the area / Interesting fast paced work environment / Three weeks vacation to start / Family owned business / When the workload has stalled occasionally over the years I have never been laid off / Management is approachable and responsive when challenges occur (though some persistence may be required) 401K match is very generous / I would term the health insurance to be exceedingly affordable / The plant also has an employee clinic that is basically free and GNC offers some nifty perks like a $175 fitness bonus , longevity bonus and Xmas bonus. The usual paid holidays plus a few extra paid days off, like Xmas Eve and the day after Thanksgiving.

Cons

The schedule is set for this summer with the possibility of a requirement to work every third Saturday This is great if you are seeking overtime; not so great if you want every Saturday off--that seems to be the major beef with this place / On the bright side one can sometimes give a Saturday away to someone seeking the time and a half hours. The overtime required in the past has been horrendous but management, it appears, has seen the light and have done wonders to remedy the situation as it has lead to disgruntleness and people quitting. Also on the bright side: The shift on Saturday offers a catered meal! A sub sandwich, deluxe burgers or perhaps Pizza from the Fill-Inn Station. You will not go home hungry after working a Saturday shift at GNC.

Cons

Lack of growth in wage based off changing living costs. Large turn over because there are mainly part time shifts, who need to work 15hrs/week for the monthly incentive. The next incentive opportunity isn't until 37hrs/ wk which cannot be achieved in just the home store, unless only one employee and manager, and maybe an employee who works one day a week. Very little overlap with employees, low store clerical hours for part timers, most stores can maintain 2 employees plus a manager so both employees get the 15hr/wk incentive. Liveable wage in and around large cities is about $3-5 more than what part times base rate is and sometimes even more than after the incentives. Which equals about $15/hr at the end of the month. Tasks for part time does not equal wage: - Sales to hit monthly goal for incentive(a liveable wage) -Store cleaning -Section cleaning, product rotation and product mark downs -Nightly deposits -Bank deposits -Online order pick and pack -Key holder -Daily paperwork:checklists, am/pm specific product counts, promotions, sales -shipment once a week All while being alone in the store helping customers. 4-10hrs
