Pros

-Store Manager was considerate and understanding -Employees were all college students who were intelligent, respectful and easy-going -Most customers were knowledgeable and understanding -Fun place to work if you love video games -On a day-to-day store level, it's a great place to work, but after awhile the attitudes of the upper management will wear on you

Cons

-Not a lot of room for advancement (there are only so many store manager positions available) -Upper management has unrealistic expectations, they think completely idealistically without regard to reality -Store manager and below have very little say in the way the store operates and you will often have to waste valuable time and resources complying with company-wide mandates that make no sense for your store

Pros

As an Assistant Manager or Manager, you are given plenty of vacation time to take off during the slow time of the year. As long as you have a good District Manager, you won't have much of a struggle put up to get the time off that you want.

Cons

Payroll is tight during most parts of the year unless you are in the busiest of stores. If you are efficient with operations, you will have no problem with this. Also, there is a fairly large vacation blackout during the holidays where you are also required to work a few 6 day work weeks. Another thing, 6 day work weeks may also be required when payroll gets tight during the summer.
