I get to take college courses towards my degree all paid for, and outside of pursuing that I am receiving technical training that I am getting paid for, for the field of work I was hired for prior to enlistment. On top of that I receive an honorable discharge at the end of my contract which has significantly more value then having experience working years for most retail companies. I’m 30 now, and have been fucking around not doing much of anything since I was 19. So I completely understand how this guy feels.

It's not my fault people sell games or consoles to GameStop and get shitty prices for it. That's just stupid. And one big thing for me is walking into the store and just looking around.

I remember going to GameStop for an interview when I was in High School. It was odd, they did a group interview with around 12-15 people and the manager said "You see everyone here? Only 2 of you will have the stuff to be a successful employee here, everyone here right now are your rivals. Today, your goal will be to sell me this pen. The 2 that sell it to me the best will be considered being hired, the rest will be let go." I got up along with around 5 others and walked out. While we were walking out, the manager said to the others "Congratulations, you all lost 6 rivals, well, don't celebrate too soon, they were too pathetic to work here anyway." I called the district manager, and like this guy said, they are scum as well, so obviously they didn't care how the managers did their hiring as long as it wasn't illegal.

Gamestop is, by far, the worst job I’ve EVER worked. I worked there for 2 years (somehow) as a GA and never was promoted (2 times the work and responsibilities for a couple cent raise? No thanks). My coworkers were awesome people (hell, we still meet up from time to time today, and it’s been roughly 2 years since we all worked there), but the job itself was too damn stressful! It wasn’t worth the mental gymnastics you had to do every shift. Between having to make sure your reserves, power up, protection plan, and used sales were in the green along side having to make sure the store was in top shape, it was a mental nightmare. When I left, I couldn’t even work for over a year because it genuinely screwed me mentally. I now work as a delivery driver for one of the major pizza chains and I’ll tell you, I’d rather work there 40 hours a week busting my ass, than having to work one hour at GameStop. I know the odds of anyone reading this are slim, but it feels good to get this off my chest, cause man, I hate that place.

They will give you like 2 or 3 dollars for games that they’ll sell for about 10 bucks and their lazy employees won’t check them to see if they work or even if they have a lot of scratches before they sell them to someone.... GameStop is a really shady company, sadly there’s not much in the way of a competitor and the only other option is to pay more for a new game, but if you have a 360/ps3 that’s not an option for most games.

The "shady" practices you're talking about, Camelot331, take place in all corporations I've ever worked for in varying degrees of severity. I've got a few years on you, and if I might offer some advice, hold true to your own principals and hold yourself to a higher level of accountability. If an employer can't handle your integrity, then find another one that is less oppressive, or one that might even reward you for doing, what in your eyes, is the right thing. Good luck to you, young man.

My first job was GameStop and one was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. And the other one was the worst. The manager was literally a x marine and ran the store like it was the army. I was forced to stay longer hours to do mundane things like alphabetize games, and I ended up getting fired because my manager asked me to stay after work to talk to me and that night his friend came in and he was talking to him but he still wanted me to stay so he could talk to me, and a hour and a half later of sitting there waiting for these two to stop talking, I finally walked over there and was like “excuse me I gotta go did you need to talk to me about something” and he got so mad about interrupting them and yea...that was the real reason I got fired.

@@BigDaddyJinx There's a 3rd reason, and it has a lot to do with what the author of the video discussed. They were essentially trying to cut costs to their senior employees by changing them from salaried to hourly. You can cut costs even further by getting senior personnel to resign and filling their position with a bright-eyed junior employee "promotion" and have their pay rate even lower than previous. Even more predatory, people who quit aren't entitled to severance - aggressively pushing them to resign rather than firing them is more money saved. Gamestop is unfortunately a sinking ship, and it has been in its death throes for a long time now. These sorts of practices and values are the unfortunate result of a company that's desperate to stay profitable in a market where they are no longer truly competitive.

One day, scheduling got mixed up and I was scheduled on one of my off days and I didn't notice in time to alert the managers. When I showed up for the shift after that one, I got pulled into the office and was interrogated on why I was a no show. During that shift I missed, however, no manager called or texted me, not only to see if I was coming in but if I was okay, given a COMPLETELY clean attendance record. I was seriously concerned that if anything happened to me, my work wouldn't contact family to alert them and instead fire me. I quit the next week.

I was a salary manager for an AT&T store and GameStop bought us out which switched me to hourly. We were warned how bad the company was but we didn’t listen.

I feel like being in a position of management or even just a lead you gotta have the personality for it. Higher EQ than IQ for sure.

Good for you. I hope the company goes bankrupt in less than 3 weeks. I went in there one time to sell a game that was selling for 55.00 on eBay and they offered me 29.99. I laughed and walked out.
@mooserocka5223 жыл бұрын
29 is good for a game there. They usually give 3 dollars for games selling for 70

yes, you have a point. sometimes it`s hard though to realise you are being screwed. i always wondered, why they try to push these game cartridge insurance on you with such a persistence, that it is borderline harassment.... They have to realise that is part of why customers don`t buy there!

I've been hearing these GameStop stories for months now and each one just get better and better by telling us how worse this company got every year. I used to dream of working at GameStop but now I'm glad I didn't. Thank God they're about to go out of business.

To be honest, a lot of it is piss poor management combined with misinterpreted company policies. If management focused more on taking care of customers instead pushing shit so hard, it'd be a much better experience.

I worked at a GameStop for 2 years and I can confirm 100% everything you are saying is true. That place was the worst thing that ever happened to me. My district manager Todd Andreason was so upset about my reservations he told me I could go work at Taco Bell, and that it’s an honorable job. Garbage company with garbage morals. I have a legitimate hatred for that company now.

I haven’t shopped at GameStop since 2010. Their constant in-your-face attitude about pushing subscriptions and used game sales was too much. Plus I got “banned” from my local GameStop by the manager when I stopped him from selling a less informed mom two extra controllers for an Xbox 360 after he told her it didn’t come with any controllers.
