Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"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"
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Stop leading by fear! Hire someone to be a floating rep so when stores have call-outs there is someone to come in and help out. Reprimand those who aren't selling with integrity so they can just hit their reservation and subscriptions goals"
"I was loyal, they weren't."
