GameStop Employer Reviews

I enjoyed the atmosphere, the co-workers, and the subject matter of discussing video games with the customers.
My typical day of work included: filling video games, working the cash register, taking in inventory, sending out inventory, working with reserves, game play guarantees, as well as signing customers up with a game informer subscription. I learned – more...  a great deal by being a third key. I quickly became adjusted to being in a manager position.
Management included overseeing the game advisers, opening and closing the store, as well as record keeping the inventory (i.e. perpetuals, title on hands, and category counts)
I very much enjoyed my co-workers. They worked hard, showed up ON TIME, and parted from work late to ensure they completed the task at hand.
The hardest part of the job would be dealing with irate customers. I , however, have an ace up my sleeve by being a naturally patient person. A valued lesson I learned at a young age. But, yes, the hardest part would be dealing with overly upset and disappointed customers.
On the flip side, customers were also the MOST enjoyable part of the job. It was fun discussing what they enjoyed about the store, video games, as well as his or her customer experience in a gaming store by getting to know the staff. – less

what more can I say I worked with the public and there where good customers and bad customers

When I started at Gamestop I was excited, having enjoyed many video games. In the beginning, I was told the job only required a 44 hour work week. I was also told that the company had recently changed its policies in order to retain employees. They had draconian standards that had caused them to have tremendous turnover.
Within a year, the company reversed – more...  course, re-implementing those policies. I went from working 44 hours a week to 60+. They also cut back enormously on payroll for support staff, leaving me to do the jobs of three people, with a required pre-opening task checklist impossible to complete unless arriving to work three hours prior to opening.
My immediate supervisor was a decent man, and only enforced whatever policies the company pursued, but I felt deceived by him.
The co-workers were good guys, mostly college kids.
Can't say that there was anything particularly enjoyable about the job, other than some of the customer interactions.
You do get to check the newest video games out for up to 4 days to try them out, which is cool, as long as you have time to play them. I would only recommend working there part-time, if at all. – less

Great job, great benefits if your full-time. Discounts and the ability to sign out games for a few days.

just make sure that the customers know and understand about the differences in the games and systems

I loved working with gamestop - I made friends with the customers, I learned alot about a subject that deeply interest me and I generally looked forward to work (that is....when I was scheduled). I feel that this company would benefit from having less locations with more on site staff per location. Having only one or two employees in the store at a – more...  time made it difficult for it to get jobs off-floor completed in the alloted times, and occassionally we wouldn't be able to spend as much time on customer service as was warrented. Entry level positions averaged 8 hours a week in off season, and as many as 40 around the holidays. However, that is all there is as an employee that I have to complain about. Management was excellent, I greatly enjoyed working with the customers and staff. Management was good at training and providing excellent feedback to help encourage and provide other employees with the knowledge to enhance their performance. I will forever miss this job, and compare all other jobs I have to this one. – less

A typical day entailed the organizing and cleaning of the store and helping customers find the video game software that they were looking for. I learned how to do inventory and how to count out a register as well as make drop offs at the bank for the store. The management changed regularly with the seasons and was pretty organized. My co-workers were – more...  fun and interesting individuals that worked hard everyday. The hardest part of the job was trying to keep the store organized while it was filled with customers. The most enjoyable part of the job was conversing with the customers about video games. – less

Sometimes backroom poltics played a part of the work and made it unpleasant to work with.

Did not provide an good environment for professional growth.

Typical day includes helping customers find and get the games they are looking for as well as keeping them well informed about the current sales and promotions in the store as well as informing them of upcoming game releases.
Learned the value of good customer service

I would be excited to go to work. I was a friendly and challenging environment.

my day at work is always exciting,some days we get to check out new games. managment are cool my co-workers were always there to help when i first started. i enjoyed working at GameStop.

I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to work at Bancario because it gave the experience and knowledge for delivering an great costumer service and to be able handle difficult situations.

had fun working there, the hardest part of the job was when i had to take all the games off the self and then put them back up on the self but in A,B,C order

i need a a better paying job, i barely make ends meet, the pay is bi weekly and minimum wage and im trying to pay bills and eat on this pay check that lasts me 3 days. Bills are barely paid and money is beyond tight.

Typical day consisted of manning the registers and working with customers. I enjoyed the content of the sales and working with my peers. The hardest part was dealing with ignorant and aggressive customers.

Every day brought on its own set of unique challenges, from both operational as well as customer experience stand-points. Co-workers were friendly and passionate about what they sold. I learned how to manage subordinates in a retail environment and those skills were probably the most difficult to learn. Point Of Sale equipment and day-to-day functions – more...  were fairly easy to learn and incorporate, but the most enjoyable part of the job was talking about upcoming and current titles with customers in order to foster relationships and earn business. – less

A typical day during the holiday season was helping people with their holiday shopping. The store was busy most of the days that I worked there. The other seasonal associates were interesting people to talk with when time allowed for it. The full-time associates and managers were behind the counter mostly expediting sales, and assisting the seasonal – more...  associates with questions if we had any about pricing and more information regarding bundles and packages. The hardest part of the job was staying focused because the customers were so abundant that there was little time between finishing with one customer and moving onto the next; so it was a little grueling as far as pace at which business was moving. The thing I enjoyed the most was probably the pay because it was the first place that was able to hire anybody (even if it was for only a month or two) so it was nice to have a few dollars to put into the bank. Overall, I would definitely work there again if I got a call-back but I'm looking for a more career-oriented position. – less

i was good and fun ,i learned how to repair the 360 games and testing it , my co-workers whose ok the hardest part was time time you repair it everything works good but when you want to close times is not working the enjoyable was i always want to do the good job .

a typical day at work would be laid back and busy around 2-3pm.My manager was great at his job as well as my co-workers.The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to rent games out.
