Pros
As a part-time nutrition counselor at Hi-Health for last several years has added lot of knowledge and sales skills to my experience. Worked in restaurant and clothing stores prior to Hi Health, it is hard to compare my experience to my current job. Both “gourmet” restaurant and designer clothing store paid next to nothing, well minimum wage. They expected us to be on call and would cancel the work hours as they pleased. There were weeks I took home some money and other weeks where I could only get 5 hours of work. My manager at hi health gives me schedule week before, very flexible to my needs. It is a demanding work because I have to learn a lot about vitamins and other supplements. It is like going to school. I have improved my lifestyle because of exposure to such learning from everyone including manufacturers that come to my store. Besides the satisfaction of helping customers that need to feel better, I like the pay much better than my previous jobs. Depending on my week and having some hot items to sell, it is easy to make close to $13 an hr. Plus my hours don’t get cancelled without notice.
Cons
Not many for me but there are others they have a hard time learning all the vitamins and stuff. There can be some competition because of commission. My manager keeps it fair and fun.
