Calling any Eb/Gamestop employees.

[SpikeSpiegel]

I picked up an application as I just turned 17 last month. I have a few questions.

How is the work there? Is it demanding? I see the employees type rather fast, how necessary is this?

I've heard each employee is required to sell a certain amount of subscriptions, is this true?

Generally speaking, how much more than minimum do they pay? ( I realize this varies and may not even uphold a steady trend)

Thread over.

But, since I used to work there...

Work is not demanding, the only reason why they type fast is because they're nerds like us.

The subscription thing is true if you want any hours.

$0.00 more than minimum unless you have a lot of experience.

Demanding? You stand in a in climate controlled store all day, how in demanding can it be?

It all depends on your boss. My boss is really cool to everyone at work. He doesn't base work time on numbers (like subs and res). As far as the work, it's fing easy as hell. Really, sometimes I laugh that I get paided to watch Wheel of Fortune at work.

Selling subs and res isn't hard at all. Now I for one am not the type of person to push them down peoples throats when they shop at the store. If someone asks me about a game I let them know they can (not have to) reserve the game. I only pitch subs when the person really does save money on the transaction.

They pay min wage right when you start, don't expect to get made cash just because you stand around and do nothing. If you can type on a keyboard then you are fine to work at GS/EB.

As I said in my first sentence, it really depends on your boss.
