what's it like working at gamestop?

not surprised they are closing some stores, i have 9 within a 25 minute drive from where i live, always thought it seemed like over kill and we used to have 2 in the local mall until they closed one last year

i'm surprised there hasnt been a b2g1 since thanksgiving weekend, typically they have one in mid december than another during christmas and then another in january

Gamestop, you've done it again. Another suck week. And that garbage tiered trade-in program is still there. Gamestop is closing 500 stores? Just add another 4000 stores closing to that list and I'll be happy.

I'm gald we've got a version with all the DLC, but that case is damn ugly. Like, almost Arkham City GOTY ugly. I'll get it, but I'm finding the old artwork.

A good chunk of those are leftovers from when eb games merged. There are a lot of gamestops that are very close to other gamestops. Many stayed open simply due to rental contracts not expiring. An honestly when I was there a lot of times each store individually would still be profitable. It was weird to call across the street though to see if something was in stock.

All my co-workers are great, but there have been issues for the past 2 months at my store with us not getting enough hours. I haven't had a shift now since January

I've worked there for over 2 yrs now...I've learned pretty much everything about GameStop...good and bad

I'll never regret it though; I love video games and I love working with the customers. I have learned much from working there. Management where I work is also really nice and understanding. It's just I've seen some questionable decisions go down there because of decisions made by whoever the CEO is.

Ex: Game's normal price is 19.99. One week we had a sale; the sticker I covered the previous price over was for 19.98 :|
Ex: I am no longer allowed to sign ppl up for GameInformer print issue unless they specifically ask for it; I have to sign them up for digital

This isn't GameStop's fault though really; the goal is to save and make money for all companies. Still annoying though :c

Lets not forget the marketing guy in Gamestop corporate that was found embezzaling.

I deliver to GS & some of the stuff they tell me is crazy. Is it true that employees that don't take games home are assumed to be stealing?

LOL well if BB kept better TIV's it was kinda the same thing besidess you know GS would definitely charge a activation fee for BB/AMZ cards along the lines of $5.

Arisen does not come with the original game or any DLC. Read the description.

I'm not really sure what ur asking. Do you mean that if employees don't buy games we are assumed to be stealing? That's not true at my store; we are mostly chill with each other. But from my time working there employees have been fired for stealing

In regards to taking the "new" games home to play so they can give advice to customers & as a perk for working there. It was told to me that employees who didn't "borrow games were assumed to be stealing, seems weird to me since that type of assumption would lead to major lawsuits especially from my lawyer.

There's some so/so games & niche titles drops that can be had for cheap

I want Family Guy but $40 is still way to high, looking for it around the $20 range!

No offense, but it doesn't sound like much of a job if you haven't worked there in over a month. I hope for your sake you don't have any real bills/expenses or at least have another PT job, sheesh.

Probably the same reasons I just sold my Sniper Elite v2 for $20 on Amazon, because people can be either, generally-uninformed (there's a new SEv2 coming out, in my situation so I sold mine quick--and only paid $15 for it on Black Friday) and/or completely impatient.
