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.

Pros

great community and great relationships with peers

Cons

Company doesn’t place value in its junior employees to create ladders for them to grow within the business. Many entry level employees leave after 2 years or it takes about 3yrs before they even remotely see promotion.
