COMMENTS:

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.

COMPENSATION:

6.55 starting/7.25 current
Checking out games is great.

COMMENTS:

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

COMMENTS:

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.

COMPENSATION:

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