Pros
the vitamin shoppe is great if you're interested in supplements and nutrition and have the drive to actually know what you're talking about. you meet some great people and feel like you get to really know your customers! when you create a relationship where your customer trusts your opinions on supplements its a really cool feeling.
Cons
Senior management at the vitamin shoppe is a complete joke, if youre lucky enough to have a manager who is mildly interested in health and fitness it could be an alright place to work, BUT like others have said; they hire young people at minimum wage for a job requiring MASSIVE amounts of knowledge about specific health conditions and supplemental interactions. Management is pretty much told not to trust their employees and hardly ever help maintain the store or listen to ideas from part timers to improve efficiency. Not sympathetic to family/personal issues and time off requests challenged even when made in advance (two weeks prior). this job is often tedious because of expiring products and management does not help with these tasks nor make it easier by throwing away the inventory expiration charts THE EMPLOYEES are making.
