Actually, I hear gamestop is a really sucky job. At least if youre young.

Damn, was hoping to go work there someday

Gamestop is not a good place to work at, unless you like being treated like you don't know anything and won't mind being told you can do better. No matter how well you do, there rarely is any appreciation..

Well, scratch that plan. There is nothing that annoys me more than what you said.


Although, are you sure it's not just the store you worked at?

Yeah, basically you just get treated poorly unless you're older. And supposedly [I don't know the full details on this] you have to sell magazines or something to work there. and thats just one thing, nothing major but like I said, I've heard a lot of bad things.

I haven't read all of it but it appears that other people agree.

I worked at one for about a year.
Basically, you have to sell gameinformer subscriptions, and EDGE cards, those numbers are what keeps your job. The store i worked at was (they closed 4 months ago) realively slow. Much like a mom & pop shop. But the distric manager would always complain that our numbers weren't keeping up to the mall stores..
He somehow expected our store, to have he same volume as a MALL location.
And that's pretty much the reason why the store is now closed..

Oh and here's a neat little trivia for everyone...

Remember when (2002-2003) gamestop used to not take trades for broken consoles (PS2 disc read error, etc)??

Here's the reason why they started taking trades was.
Corporate managers, during a store visit, found out that I was repairing PS2s, xbox and gamecube consoles on the side.
You know, to help out the kids who couldn't afford a new replacement machine...

About 3 weeks later, gamestop started taking in defective systems.. My store also received an email saying that any employees performing repairs, would be immediately terminated..

Hmmmm, I wonder who that email was written to... :rolleyes
