Thinking of working at Gamestop

[Opaque]

I can't see how working in a game shop would be worse than any other retail.

Because the company hates it's employees.

I wanted to get a job at the GameStop down my street, but all the stories I hear about it scare me. I always saw it as, like, a dream job, but now I'm not so sure...

[Revoltor]

You have shitty dreams.

You wanted to get a job at the GameSpot down your street? I wasn't aware websites even hired 16 year olds.

Opaque (a former ASM) and I know a lot of people who work at Gamestop. Sometimes its great, and sometimes it sucks. If you have cool managers, then it could be awesome. But if you get that one, overbearing asshole running your store, you're fucked.

It wont hurt to try. Drop off an app and get an interview.

Because the company hates it's employees.

Its funny to think about it. We we're so anxious to work at Gamestop before we knew any better.

I would tell a friend of mine to not work there.

But since I don't know you, I say go for it.

Hah. I love this.

You have shitty dreams.

Hah. I love this even more.

That wacky Ron Artest. Same guy who took time off the regular NBA season to promote his rap record and when asked why he needed to do it he said, "Hey, I've got kids to feed."

I wish to emulate that man.

If you're really into games then after a year or so there you'll like them a lot less. That makes it worse.

A wise man once said..

"This job would be great if it weren't for the fucking customers"

And that pretty much sums up retail, anywhere. Just because you like the items being sold, doesnt mean your going to like the parade of mindless, stupid, inbred, morons you will encounter on a daily basis.

The worst part, aside from the crap pay and idiot customers, is being pushed constantly for sales numbers. Every month a different company pays your store money to push their shitty game, no matter how bad it is. So you're basically going to have to either omit facts about bad games or flat out lie to people to meet quotas and whatnot.

It's kinda fun selling bad games to idiots, actually. By worst part, I meant the best. The worst is definitely the crap pay and closing. Man, I hated closing.
