Part time employment
Store Manager (Former Employee), Manchester, CT – May 8, 2013
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

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), South Pasadena, CA – May 8, 2013
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.

Strong Work Place, Freedom to have fun and grow
Shift Leader/Assistant Manager/Store Manager (Former Employee), Chattanooga, TN – May 8, 2013
Pros: strong leaders, fast growth opportunities, fun
Cons: corporate ignores cries for help, corporate doesn't investigate major issues, no one listens to field employees
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 fun working here.
Cashier (Former Employee), Wintersville, OH – May 7, 2013
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

easy, fun job, with super perks
Cashier/Clerk (Former Employee), Vancouver, WA – May 1, 2013
To work at Blockbuster you needed to know about movies, so we got 10 free rentals a week- way more than you could watch in that time. My job included stocking shelves, helping customers, and running my own till. Making bank deposits, cleaning the store and opening/closing the store were also part of the job.

Its a fun work place because of the co-workers.
Sales Manager (Current Employee), Vernal, UT – April 28, 2013
Pros: 10 free rentals a week, discounts on most of everything in the store.
Cons: no breaks, different hours every week, hours change without warning or regard for employees schedule.
a typical day is a customer freaking out about late fees.
What i have learned is patience.
Management is alright sometimes it changes all the time.
I enjoy my co-workers a lot most have more interests than just movies.
Hardest part of the job is dealing with management and customers.
Most enjoyable part is having fun with co-workers and going home.

Pros: excellent manager, free movie rentals, good pay
