Pros

its a great place to be able to make an impact on youre customers lives. if youre into health you learn alot and can make changes in youre own health

Cons

you dont get much of a personal life 45 hrs mandatory more like 50 to 60 as a store manager. not very good pay they are a cheap company the company makes alot and is doing great but all employees get is a thank you e-mail. raises are very low even when youre store is doing over plan. Bonus plan is very weak. Very task oriented lots of daily tasks that are not improtant to customers.

Pros

Opportunity was there to make it big. After all, it is was one of the fastest growing retailers in the country and they held their own for quite some time.

Cons

Not that it's the only place that this happens, but VSI truly became a place where being part of the Senor Management clique was the only way you were going to survive. It's a shame what has happened to this once great organization.

Pros

The people that I come into contact with in the store are Great. Knowing that you have helped someone is a really good feeling.

Cons

Upper Management from (at this point) Store managers, District Manager all the way up to Corprate. Corprate keeps us moving product around and have product where it makes no sense. They put complex B's in Multi's because they don't know the difference between the two. Store Managers that don't know anything about the business and don't care, or are abussive, sexually,etc. District Manager that won't let you speak when he asks you a question, or tries to make you feel like its your fault when you try to let him know whats really going on in your Store, or turns everythingaround that you say and then states he doesn't understand.Corprate buyers that don't know anything about supplements. Quite Frankly this Corporation does not care about it's Employee's or the Customers that come into these Stores. Its all about the bottom line. Alot of the VSU classes are out-dated and you have to retrain the new Employee the way things are done . Wages are rock bottom, Even the exploitation of People that have Degrees from Bastyr College. They want to have them as employees for The Vitamin Shoppe just so they can wear the College name on their name tag. So far NO takers on that endevor, the wage is insulting.In the 4 years I have been Assistant Manager I finally recieved in total ONE DOLLAR and TWENTY FIVE CENTS,from beginning to end.
