Pros

Working in the stores is great if you just want to fly under the radar and collect a check. Good place to meet and work with other gamers. Would recommend as a 2nd job or after-school gig, but not full-time.

Cons

Pay is low even by specialty retail standards. Does not offer much in the way of career growth - in terms of both on-the-job learning and career advancement. Associates are given very low-level of responsibility and management is often over-worked, under-paid, and taking themselves way too seriously in efforts to get promoted (an offer that very rarely presents itself before the manager finds a better position elsewhere).

Pros

If your love playing games, it is a way to save a lot of money in that department, Depending on the workers and management, you can have a very good time there as well. Sometimes the placement of your store can also help you enjoy your work there, being close to food or other services you can make friends with or have an easier time dealing with your breaks or just time before or after work can make the whole experience a lot better. And all the heads up on game releases and deals do help a lot for the habit

Cons

Not enough work hours, and a lot of cloak and dagger sort of method to work.

Pros

Needing a job is about the only reason to work for Gamestop.

Cons

Everything is terrible. No one is treated fairly, senior management fails to recognize, praise, or offer advancement/encouragement, preferring to treat people like pack horses instead of humans.
