Blockbuster Employer Reviews

Worked there in college, it was an okay job. I was responsible for stocking movies, assisting customers, and looking out for the store in general. You only worked two people at a time so some nights were extremely busy and hectic.

Typical day at work- to me is talking to the customers
I learned-how to have patience with the customers
Management-TO make decisions and help solve problems
My co-workers-very friendly and alive
Hardest part of the job-Was to fire employees
Most enjoyable-Coming to work and talking to the little children

the starts of counting the draws, returning movies to the self, shipping and receiving items, stocking candy and pop. i learn who to run a store, how to communticate with my co-workers. i love my co-workers they are very helpful in a tight jam. dealing with the customers is the hardest part of the job and the enjoying part of the job is the customers – more... as well. – less

Even as assistant manager the job was not hard at all once you got the hang of everything. Getting my employees to do daily tasks has never been an issue for me. This was my first management experience and I learned quite a bit about what it takes to be a good leader and many of the things i learned at this job have shaped the kind of leader I am today.
One – more... of the best parts about this job was free movie and game rentals. This was before Netflix and Hulu and such mind you. The pay was good for the time and I enjoyed my years there. – less

a typical workday would include me checking out customers all throughout the day while working on various management duties.

Open and closing the store, opening duties going to the bank making deposit, running daily reports, check in all movies and games. Closing duties were cleaning the store, making sure all cashiers balances out, check in all movie and games in drop box, running the night reports. Overall duties make change will needed, putting up new displays on display – more... days, starting new membership. – less

I loved workinf with my staff, and the customers, but it quickly turned into a high pressure sales job, and my job as weel as the employment of my staff was in constant jeopardy is we didn't make our sales goals set by corporate.

Fun place to work if you like movies. The hardest it can get is when customers get angry because fees are being added to their account but otherwise its a very nice environment to be at

I enjoyed the hours, employees and benefits. I did not like the managers. They were rude and not understanding.

A typical day at work consists of checking in/out movies and then "running" movies that have been checked in, back to the shelves for the next customer. The main thing I've learned is customer service skills. (how to use a register, how to deal with many type of people, and how to handle a negative situation) The other employees are all very nice and – more... hard working, we all stay busy at all times. The hardest part of the job, for me, is running the movies back to the shelves. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with many great people and having such a great customer base. – less

Typical day at work come in check return bin and del with customers

Great place to work, especially if you are looking to move through the ranks. I'm not sure how it has changed since DISH took over, though.

This was a position to supplement income. I enjoyed my daily tasks, but there was not much room for growth and not enough flexability with my full time job

Blockbuster was a pretty easy job. I just had to stock movies, check-in, cashier, and clean the store. Not much else to it. I definitely enjoyed being here because my co-workers made each shift fun.

Easy to execute job functions, strong learning opportunities, you can make your own future here! Everyone can get along well and grow at his or hers own pace. Tasks become redundant though, hard days were the busy ones because nothing let up and everything had to be done with poor labor hours given. Loved the industry and how this company made its presence – more... known in said industry. – less

It was a very laid back job. Everyone that worked there was very friendly and knew a lot about the different genres of movies. My job there was to stock the movies, keep the store clean, and to help the customers with finding the movies or games that they were looking for in a timely manner. The management at Blockbuster were very good at their jobs. – more... My co-workers were always nice and tried to help whenever I had a question about something that I was confused about. – less

good coworkers and managers. horrible pay. worked here while i was in college, so couldnt care less

loved taking home movies every week to review before the customers get to see them loved the hours wish they would have stayed open

I would have stayed with this company if it had not done under. I miss it very much.

You stand around putting movies away. stand at front waiting on customers to come up with a movie to rent or buy.
