I wish I could have changed #GameStop
The overall people that I worked with where great. The fact that the company criticized their employees based on sales of warranty, merchandise, subscriptions, and pre order sales every week as a means to punish or reward employees for the performance of the store is by far the stupidest and most shortsighted stance on corporate greed that I have ever seen in a practice. The company does not care if the sales from the previous year can be matched or not and only seeks to make more money than the previous year regardless on what is currently in the market. A store cannot possibly be expected to make the same amount of sales from a game no one expects to do well in the market versus a game that has been anticipated and has a huge audience that already wants to purchase it at the same season but different years. The company did NOTHING to better the working conditions of ge employees that work the stores, only rewards people in managing or higher positIons, increases Pay for employees at a crawl, and hardly offers unique opportunities for the gaming community that you can’t already find being competed with at Best Buy or the publishers of the video games they sell. How this company is not the next “blockbuster” (as in the company that practically solely survives in Alaska) is a wonder in its self and can possibly be traced back to the amount of corners they cut as a company. I find it hard to believe that it has not survives as a pre owned sale based company when most people only bought pre owned merchandise because they either didn’t know any better or where tricked into it. I strive to help the customers as be st as I could and made sales based on an honest good nature. I was even encouraged to SNEAK warranties into the transaction until the customer found out or was upset by the offer so that we could improve the count for our store. If I could change one thing from GameStop, it’s the greedy arse holes that run it at the top.
