Why is gamestop a bad place to work




















Cons Pay no work life balance no growth. Very difficult to move up in the company and the job is only good if you have a good too to work with. The perks were nice, discounts, free stuff from reps but that's about it. Yes No There are 2 unhelpful reviews 2. What was once a great place to work seems to be spiraling down into obscurity. More area leads are either being fired or leaving of their own volition and few associates are ever promoted.

Management is constantly changing their minds about how to run the company while more and more benefits are being stripped away and tenured workers are fed up with all the red tape and lack of advancement opportunities. Pros Friendly staff. Cons Short breaks, limited advancement, rigid schedule. Would not recommend working for this company.

Unfair pay. No worklife balance. As an Ex-GameStop employee the job itself can be very fun. They will expect so much out of you in that time as well which is unmanageable unless you work a full shift. Pros First looks at new items. Cons No hours, harassment, low pay for what they want from you. Good place to work. Schedule during peak unpredictable. Pros Employees discount. Cons Unpredictable overtime during peak.

Do u get freee games and stuff if u work at gamestop? What questions did they ask during your interview at GameStop? From GameStopGirl :. Lots of people did not want to speak to female employees, either because they were nervous or because they felt like as girls, we wouldn't assist them as well as a male employee. I also usually had to push good games a lot harder to convince people they were actually good. Early on management sincerely wanted people to succeed.

The new management would try and convince me otherwise. I worked Anywhere between the required 44 to 60 a week. You try not to do the math and see where you are hourly; it will only hurt your soul. We had to be extremely pushy to get them contrary to what district managers and other higher-ups who have never worked in the store thought because, if we didn't, your hours got cut. If you as a year-old were hired, you would be a Game Advisor. A GA is a dime a dozen; if you aren't meeting expectations, you could be let go and ten minutes later have someone else fill your spot.

Your job as a GA is ringing people up and getting reservations on new games and signing people up for Power Up cards. Oh, and alphabetizing the walls. Please, God, make sure you know how to read. Due to the fact that the company gives us no payroll to work with, there is not really too much of a chance of being hired any other time in the year. From formated4tv :. One guy would come in daily and tell me about his sweet boots in Oblivion or some other nonsense piece of clothing on his character.

Ask the person working if they have any guides or promo stuff 'pennied out. Guides when a game get unpopular get priced at.

The rule always was 'You can't just offer someone the free stuff, but if they ask you about it, and it's free, you can give it to them. There was a video once of a store's toilet flooding, and ruining a stack of consoles on YouTube.

Yeah, the employees will take every one as soon as they come in on shipments. Our inventory system lets us know when the promo items are in the mail, so someone watches for them and just grabs them all. The card has all of these rules, such as: you can only withdraw a certain amount off of it, it costs a certain amount to do a withdrawal to take out your paycheck , and there are only certain banks you can go to to take money out off of it.

From gamestopperthrowaway :. Oh, and you still have to work 45 hours weeks. You have to work six days during Xmas and you have to work around 52 hours as well.
