Pros
Product discount. It used to be a great place to work but since Tom Tolworthy was pushed out by the Bear Stearns hirlings, things went downhill and fast.
Cons
Vitamin Shoppe upper management are not from nutrition-based industries. Many come from Barnes and Noble (Bear Stearns had owned both companies). Vitamin/nutritional supplements selling is very different to bookselling. The company went from strength when it was nutritional based to being just another accountant-run, bottom line focused store. The customers suffer as a result.
