WORK ENVIRONMENT

cut-throat, disorganized, political, high-pressure

Working at GameStop:

Retail manager of 35 years. This is the WORST retail company to be a store manager. A fortune 500 company that only takes care of the stockholders. They give you no tools to run your store correctly and demand 100% compliance or else. You work in an environment with no job security since they always threaten to terminate for non-compliance. Upper management plays head games and field management is inept. Thay will cut your throat for the bottom line. STAY AWAY!

Gamestop Salary Salary and Benefits:

38k and way underpaid for the crap. A lousy 4 paid holidays.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

casual, competitive, team-oriented, fast-paced, flexible schedule, high-pressure

Working at GameStop:

Great Co-Workers
Customers can be total opposites, really easy going or really annoying in that they assume it's you personally trying to screw them over, no it's the COMPANY.
Don't work in a mall. DON'T.
Minimum wage
If you don't know your ABC's don't apply.
Alot of pressure to get good numbers weekly.
It can get really busy between helping customers, fixing the walls, putting things away, working the register, and answering the phone.
Flexible schedule on days not really hours since evening is when they'll offer you hours most.
Not many hours. Not at all.
If you can sell anything to anyone you can succeed at this job, mostly.

Gamestop Salary Salary and Benefits:

6.55 starting/7.25 current
Checking out games is great.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

Working at Gamestop:

Gamestop might be okay for someone looking to work a few hours a week. For anyone else, the expectations versus rewards are completely out of sync as far as pay. Expect 50 to 65 hour work weeks for managers at times.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

fast-paced, high-pressure

Working at GameStop:

The pay is ridiculously low and the hours are incredibly long (50+). I had to leave because I just couldn't take it anymore. I had no life which might have been acceptable if I got paid a decent salary. Raises are minuscule. Way too much work and little to no staff.

Gamestop Salary Salary and Benefits:

I made $33,500 but when you factor in how many hours I worked it was much less.
