Pros

Enjoyed working with the fellow gamestop associates and serving customers that genuinely needed advice. Scheduling was easy and flexible but heavily dependent on store management.

Cons

P.O.S system is clumsy and archaic. General Managers push used products and Game Informer subscriptions on customers that don't benefit from it. Questionable used merchandise buying policies. We'd often seen stolen merchandise brought in from near-by retailers to resell for cash. General Managers were aware but made no attempt to prevent the purchase and resale. Corporate committed zero effort to improving company culture/values.
