GNC is mindless...you can get like 20hrs/week and average like 7 or 8 an hour. If you don't suck at selling you can make 10 an hour easily.

Master Of Puppets · 01-22-2008, 03:24 AM

haha that on top of whenever I work at Toys R Us and I'll be gettin some pretty steady cash.

Do you have to be 18 to work at GNC or VS?

navarone · 01-22-2008, 05:43 AM

YOU DONT WANT NIGHTSHIFT.. lol. I work at the real canadian superstore, and walmart overnights.. It sounds easy, but it sucks big time. Your always tired.. and your workouts suffer (at least mine did). Go with GNC or VS.. thats where im gunna go apply ( right now im a full-timer at wal-mart in the electronics dept! lmfao) if it comes down to it.. don't take the Night job.. seriously.

**Succio** · 01-22-2008, 08:28 AM

really? why?

i only plan on working the weekends. and i dont lift on the weekends.

navarone · 01-22-2008, 10:23 PM

well it might not be that bad if only on the weekends.. i was doing it 4 nights a week.. and even on my days off.. i slept all day.. woke up.. and was STILL tired. Your body isnt manufactured to constantly switch between night and day. Just my personal take.. i tried it and it sucked.. but hey,.. to each his own. Just lookin out for ya.. cuz i'd hate for it to hurt ur lifts.

**Succio** · 01-22-2008, 10:43 PM

Well, I figured since i always go to sleep at 1-2 am on the weekends, why not just use up that time to work?

would they let you pick your own hours? like 10-2 am? or would you have to work the whole night shift?

navarone · 01-22-2008, 10:45 PM

generally... depending where you work.. its a solid night shift.. so 11-7:30, or 10:30-7 is very common. When i did it for RCSS it was 11:30-8. We had a few students who work fri and sat, but they had to stay all night. If u can get somone who will let u do the 10-2 thing.. then well.. all hats off to u.

**Ikaika** · 01-23-2008, 12:00 AM

You don't have to be 18 to work at GNC or VS but it is less paperwork for them if you're over 18. Honestly they care less about how much you know and more about how you interact with people and if you're honest/not gonna steal shit.

Good news lol.

I am now considering applying for jobs at GNC, VS, and Bally's. (Bally's as a font desk person or maintenance.)

I am gonna talk to my current employer as well.

By no means am i trying to highack ur thread.. but i as well wanna work at gnc.. i want the discount, lol. Any tips from our current gnc employee? We don;t have a vitamin shoppe here in canada.. well where i am anyways, lol.

**romanaz** · 01-23-2008, 02:15 AM

I'm thinking about getting a job at a GNC just to make some money on the weekends. Would be good.

navarone · 01-23-2008, 04:03 AM

honestly, if I worked at a GNC I wouldn't be pushing that hydroxycut or lipo6 bullshit as much anymore. I saw a GNC employee talk what looked like a mentally handicapped man into a bottle of lipo6. Makes me sick

The discount is pretty mediocre, it's only 30% off the stickered price. Meh.

As for pushing Hydroxycut and Lipo 6, you have to understand that the pay structure is set up so that you get an extra $2-$5 for selling EACH BOTTLE. When your base pay is like $6/hour you'd be stupid not to try and sell the stuff you make extra on. If you want to act like you're too good to do it then you're leaving money on the table, so no bitching about being broke.

min wage is 7.15 in NJ. Also, my girlfriend (not bragging just how she is) is rich as hell and her dad INSISTS on paying for my gas and food and such...

I'm doing it for discount and to help people out that otherwise would get shit.
