How can I get a job at GNC? What do they look for?

Do you guys sell midi-chlorians? I heard they help you exert more force in your lifts.

you would think they look for people knowledgeable on supps and fitness but sadly... they'd rather hire a used car salesman type

Do you guys have any specific training on supps before you guys go out on the store floor?




Do you guys get certain commission on products. Example Ive gone in to buy pak, guy says "eh you don't want that. check out mega man multi"

Why should I shop at GNC vs. an internet site like BB.com or Prosource?

Why doesn't GNC carry more Universal/ Animal products?

we get register training but no supp knowledge training...
we do get commission on certain products. however, these products are mostly third party and not good for our actual sales goals. this company is all about the sales goals. thats why the employee will basically beg you to buy GNC band crap. they flip out on us if our numbers are down. so the next time you want a B vitamin and end up with an eighty dollar strength pak... you know what happened.

they'll lie about crap like that so they can sell the GNC brand paks and get their sales numbers up. i've seen my manager lie about the register being broken so he didn't have to sell products from a company other than GNC (i won't say which) so his numbers would still look good. this shit happens constantly.

you shouldn't...
even my manager buys his stuff online.

and i wish i knew... haha we carry so much stuff from terrible companies but when it comes to animal/universal which are actual quality products we have almost nothing.
