What don't you like about working at Blockbuster?

"Pressure put on managers and team to sell additional programs like Movie Pass. Threats to fire people if they don't sell these programs. Most people don't like high-pressure sales. I saw a manager absolutely badger a woman about enrolling in the Movie Pass rental program. He would NOT take no for an answer. That is not what people respond to. The holiday hours were Draconian. It will not hurt a company to reduce hours at the holidays, and people would probably respect them for it. At least spread it out so that people can spend a little time with their families."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Treat your team members well and they will be more motivated. Try to give periodic incentive to sell your programs. Simply having a job is not enough. They can find a minimum wage job anytime."
