Game Stop Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Overall is was a decent place to work. I don't know how its changed in the in the past four years but hey it would work for someone just out of high school who needs the work experience."

"Overall Gamestop was not a horrible employer though that is primarily due to the manager I had. Once he left the company went further into shambles. Expect a high requirement for things you need to be able to know and do, expect to never have time to egt everything done, and expect to get berated for it."

"It's not all fun and games like everyone thinks. It's a lot of demands with little pay and no incentives. People do a lot of shady things to make their numbers look good and when those customers come back for a refund or a cancellation on a reserve, you're the one getting hit with it, not the moron who caused it in the first place."

What don't you like about working at Game Stop?

"Micro-management from District managers, low amount of hours for sales associates, store runs off of two to three associates throughout the day even on weekends, fear of being terminated for hitting unrealistic goals, lack of coverage when associates are out sick, company obsessed with beating out the competitors (Best Buy/Target) but could care less about the well being of its employees, very low pay for large work load, promotion from within for management is rare...usually they hire from outside the company for store managers, area managers, and district managers"
