Pros

Able to work around games and meet other people interested in gaming, large number of stores nationwide provides ability to possibly transfer all over.

Cons

Priority is strictly placed on sales instead of games and customers, pushing people to pre-order games can place them in a situation where they spend good money on a bad game with no possiblity of a refund, business' model places customers at a disadvantage.

Pros

Great if you're a fan of games Meet some interesting people Discounts of things you'd likely buy anyway

Cons

Too much emphasis on pre-sales Advancement is rarely earned through actual skill sets, and more by who you know higher up Unless you're an assistant store manager or higher, the pay is quite low

Pros

Working in the video game industry, customers who come in as your regulars will become your friends, stores are small which results in your co-workers becoming your GameStop family.

Cons

Experienced harassment from customers on a daily basis as a female employee. District manager would tell you one thing, corporate another. Hours are rough if you are not full time. Unobtainable goals in customer service when company does not give you hours to keep store flowing. Usually relies on store managers to pick up the slack and work 50+ hour weeks because they are paid salary.
