Sales Associate - PT

GNC, a long-standing leader in health and wellness products, is hiring in Midvale, Utah for a part-time Sales Associate role that works onsite. The company has been helping people pursue healthier lives since 1935, and this role sits in a busy retail environment where teammates focus on delivering practical wellness solutions and a friendly shopping experience. If you enjoy helping customers and sharing knowledge about fitness, nutrition, and well-being, this could be a fit.

As a Sales Associate, you’ll be the first person shoppers meet, guiding them toward products that align with their goals while promoting GNC’s Live Well message. The job blends customer service with merchandising and operations, so you’ll also help with stocking, online order fulfillment, and keeping the store feeling welcoming and organized. It’s a good match for people who like a hands-on retail role with a daily variety of tasks.

Those who thrive here are people who like talking with customers, can stay energized in a store environment, and are comfortable with flexible hours that include weekends and holidays. If you’re drawn to wellness and enjoy helping others make thoughtful product choices, you’ll likely fit in well.

Welcoming customers and guiding purchases

In this role you’ll be the friendly face that greets every visitor and you’ll determine the best solutions for their goals by sharing product knowledge and practical recommendations. You’ll be comfortable presenting options, answering questions, and guiding customers toward selections that fit their needs, while representing the Live Well philosophy in every interaction. When not with customers, you’ll stay productive by restocking shelves, maintaining appealing displays, fulfilling online orders accurately, and handling cleaning duties to keep the store presentable. You’ll also support store leadership in opening and closing tasks, including cash handling, inventory counts, and deposits, to help the shop run smoothly.

What you need to bring to the counter

The company looks for a few essentials, plus several softer assets that help a candidate stand out. The must-haves cover age, stamina, physical ability and scheduling flexibility, while the nice-to-haves highlight experience and product interest that makes a quicker impact in this role.

• You should be able to stand for long periods, up to eight hours a day.
• You must be capable of lifting as much as 40 pounds and pushing or pulling up to 20 pounds.
• You should be comfortable performing frequent reaching, bending and twisting during shifts.
• You should be able to use a computer for a portion of the day (roughly 60%).

• Retail or customer-service experience that helps you guide product choices for customers.
• Interest or knowledge in nutrition, wellness, and fitness products that you can translate into recommendations.

Money, perks and scheduling realities

The position is part-time and hourly, with an additional performance incentive opportunity that rewards top performers when productivity and quality standards are met. Beyond pay, the benefits package includes a 401(k) with a 4% employer match after one year of service, a 30% employee discount on GNC products and 20% on third-party products, monthly free product offers, and access to the Employee Assistance Program. The schedule is flexible but demands availability on peak business days, including weekends and holidays, with the possibility of working evenings or mornings to open or close the store. The role also notes the need to stand for long periods, manage stock in a range of temperatures, and operate a computer for part of the day. The position requires you to be at least 18 years old.

Advice for applicants

Lead your resume with clear evidence of customer-facing work where you welcomed shoppers, identified their needs, and offered tailored product suggestions. If you’ve helped customers reach goals with wellness or nutrition products, put specific examples or outcomes on the page to show you understand the Live Well mindset they’re promoting.

Show how you would demonstrate the must-have skills in a real-world setting. Describe a time you stayed on your feet for long stretches, handled stocking or merchandising, and kept a store clean and organized while assisting customers. Mention any experience using a computer to place orders or check inventory to illustrate your comfort with the daily tools of the job.

Prepare to talk through how you would handle online orders and in-store sales in the same shift. Be ready with a short, concrete example of balancing customer service with operational tasks like restocking, price updates, or assisting with deposits if needed.

When you ask questions, target specifics tied to the role’s details. A smart query would be about how the incentive plan works for part-time staff and how scheduling is coordinated during peak holiday periods, so you can understand the path to earning potential and the typical hours you might expect.
