About The Position

GNC’s Store Manager in Training (SMIT) is a full-time hourly supervisory development role designed to prepare an individual to manage a store. Under the leadership of a Store Manager or District Manager, the SMIT receives hands-on training and work assignments to learn how to operate a store, drive results, and develop and lead a team. The position represents GNC’s health and wellness mission by providing customers with expert product knowledge and tailored solutions. The role is a fast track to management, but selection does not guarantee promotion. After 90 days, performance is assessed to determine eligibility for promotion to Store Manager, considering factors such as performance, available openings, and willingness to accept a promotion at any location in the designated market. The SMIT supports store operations and business performance, product management, sales initiatives, customer relationships, and the total shopping experience. The position involves opening and closing the retail facility, cash handling, inventory counts, and deposits in accordance with GNC procedures. The SMIT also participates in training initiatives and may represent GNC at community fairs, conferences, meetings, and other public gatherings. The position requires working five days and 40 hours per week. Work schedules vary by store type and include evenings, weekends, and major U.S. holidays when the store is open. Physical duties include standing or walking for up to eight hours a day, frequent reaching, bending, twisting, and repetitive hand movements, lifting and pushing or pulling items, and climbing ladders.
