Guys just sign up with a temp agency and have them ship you out to a bunch of different jobs until you find a real job you like. At the bare minimum office work is going to pay double or more than retail.

Previous SGA (Senior Game Advisor, essentially a keyholding manager) here. Don't do it. Retail in general sucks the life out of you. Gamestops corporate structure puts it's employees last and it's money first. Expect to be left in the dust by your District Manager who is after his bonus while you slave away. Stores are only allowed to have so many employees so sick days can't happen. Finally if you come on as a new hire, if you're just a Game Advisor, you will have pretty minimal hours if you're not in a high traffic area. Expect your game knowledge to be worthless. The job is about selling product, not informing it.

Now I have a pretty good relationship with my old store but I will never return. It's two years I'll never get back slaving for a company that doesn't care. It's purely resume fodder at this point. Don't do it OP.

Your starry eye dreams of it being even a remotely interesting job are bad news.

i would recommend working at an indie game store if possible. more fun. gamestop is all "Umm anon, how many preorders for Call of FIFA: Combat Evolved did you make today? If you dont make 100 a day we will have to let you go."

You're probably gonna have little to no luck now that the holidays are basically over now. I only worked there once for a few months but from what I remember the staff is very exclusive when it comes to shift distribution and prioritizes employees who worked there longer. I mean like expect to work three hours a week at best. And most of it is gonna be spent either restocking shelves or trying to find the perfect game for soccer mom #73873920 to give to her half-retarded son with nothing else to go on other than that "he likes sharks".

Former regular old Game Adviser here. My coworkers were pretty chill but the atmosphere sucks. Corporate policy mandated every employee must get X preorders and Y Game Informer subscriptions per month or you'd get written up. 3 write ups and you get shitcanned.

Facing shelves is a nightmare because customers never ever put shit back. Expect to get sick of putting games back on the wall because no one asks for a game by name, they always bring an empty box to the counter. Expect the people above you to not give a single fuck about video games in general, and as Senior GA posted the corporation only cares about dollar signs. You'll be undervalued and make shit for money.

Oh, and the other dude talking about favoritism with hours is totally accurate, too. Stores only get a budget of Z hours per week to allocate, and if your manager likes someone else more or just doesn't like you, expect them to put you down for a Saturday night shift from 7 to 10 and that's it.

There's also the fact that, on average, Gamestops are constantly flooded with applications from idiot kids wanting to work for video games.

I recently had to work a security gig at the electronics department of a Target and I swear this is nothing compared to what those poor souls had to go through. Rows of plasma screen TVs showing the same eight commercials on loop. It was a serious nightmare.

Also there was a button that would loudly blare a portion of a Christina Aguilera song when you pressed it and there was a button that was supposed to turn it off but it was broken and children couldn't keep their hands off it.

Not a bad starter job if you live near one. OK benefits, and starting pay is usually around $11 or $12. ($12.50 at the facility near me, but it's a sortation center - package handling, mostly.) Some have full-time positions available. Sortation centers and smaller FCs will probably proliferate in the next few years to the point that Amajobs will be very common among 4chan slackers who can keep their rates up.

no, that's usually for the supervisors or leads. footsoldiers get the shit end cleaning the floors, shelves, packaging, loading, and unloading trucks. expect to get minimum wage until you break your back and get your ass fired for it with nothing in your savings, retirement or suing for wrongful termination.

Oh... no, sorry, I'm not a teenager. I have a pretty full resume as is with 8 years as a turret-lathe/CNC machinist and I got an IT degree and spent the last 9 months working as a database administrator.

Money was fantastic but I'm so sick of it. I want my machinist job back but the shop shut down. i used to just read the blueprints, set the machine up and listen to some music as I'd make the same part day in day out...

Don't go minimum wage job, it's just as miserable as the high paying jobs, but suddenly you're stressed with bills and other things you never stressed about before.

This is coming from a Target employee. I'd love to not have to worry about rent or food man.
>>
>>322561793
Not that guy, but it's just a miserable experience. You're expected to run the register and keep the store in pristine condition and hawk presales and magazines and greet every person who comes in and be smiling and bubbly and while none of this is particularly difficult, it will erode your soul.

Well when you start you'll be pretty excited to be working in a vidya related job, but once the novelty wares off (and it wares off in like a fucking week) you're left with a shitty cashier job.

What makes it worse is that every day you begin to hate video games more and more. While you listen to all the other faggots who work there bang on and on about garbage you'll slowly build the urge to smash every video game console in existence.

The reason I initially started browsing /v/ is because I would come home from work, and the last fucking thing I wanted to do is play vidya. Coming here kind of scratched the itch. But it's like drugs, I don't even like it anymore, but what else am I gonna do?

30 days of training? Nah man. That's corporate bullshit. It's sink or swim bro. I started minimum wage and worked myself up to shift manager in about a year and a half.

Some McDonald's tips:

>Stay out of the kitchen

Do your damnest to stay out of there when you start out. Work registers, drive thru, anything but the kitchen! That should be the last place you learn.

>swallow your pride

Besides working your ass off, you have to make yourself desirable to the managers. You have to make them want to work with you. You need to go above and beyond to upsell yourself.

>Be flexible

Never say no. Never. To anything.

>Be nice

I know, I know, but this is pretty god damn important. Build a relationship with the costumers. Iron your pants, your shirt, look as nice as possible, and smile. Greet them. Serve them. Don't doze off. Stay sharp.

Cunt didn't have my security code set up on my first closing night, had to wait 30 minutes at the store for her to show up and lock things down.
Cunt had the most poorly kept records of transactions I've ever seen, pages would go missing and she'd just "that's unfortunate." I may work a shit job, but even then, I make sure it's the best god damn shit job that anyone's seen. Take pride in all you do and that shit.
Cunt's employee's swearing at the customers.
Cunt's employee's making THE MOST ASININE excuses for things. Literally would just stand at the register for 8 hours and do nothing else.
Cunt shows up to work, Drunk one time.
Cunt's employees show up to work late, almost every single day.

Learn a trade while you're still young. Aim for something like welder, electrician, or carpenter. The jobs will always be there, the money is great, and you don't have to deal with too many people.

Just get an apprenticeship, work your ass off, and learn something that will always be in demand.

Work for them last year for seasonal. Only worked 16 hours. Had me work Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and after Christmas. Most of that time was just filling out quizzes about the employee manual. 0/10 Never working there again.

Been looking for other jobs but they either have no interest for me or they are way too goddamn far from home. I dunno if I should work since I do have bad back and shoulders.

What would those jobs be? I'm pretty useless and depressed with my lot in life so this sounds like it's right up my alley.

Was a great job for what it was, which was a minimum wage mall job. Had a blast with my friends, got to put managerial experience on my resume after a short time, got glowing recommendations from my district manager when I eventually moved on. Really only sucks at the lowest level, but if you aren't a sperg you will get out of that in a couple months.

It used to be a good place to work, I worked there in highschool when it was still called Electronic Boutique (Canadafag) and they were about as bro as a retail position could be. People would come in, chat about games, buy games, old people would come in and try to buy Tony hark ice skating for their grand kids, etc. When Gamestop took over they turned into a RETAIL MACHINE and holy fuck the stuff they make people do now. You can get fired for not answer the phone with like a 10 second speel about "TRADE AND SAVE WITH GAMESTOP, TRADE YOUR IPOD PHONE OR OTHER DEVICE" and if you don't sell so many warranties per month you're cut. Fuck, I hate that place now, quit and took over managing a shipping warehouse, way less stressful.

Also, they actually teach employees to slip the warranty on without asking these days. Shadey as hell.

This shit was all over the place. No one ever changed the price stickers on the cases. So they would mismatch in the system. We always had to give the lower price. This was the second most annoying thing about this place.

It's just what it is, but you'll never be left alone. You'll have to participate in the group "meetings", chat with the dumbass at lunch, nod your head when your manager tells you the wrong way to do something.

Legit question as I hardly meet other races that would take pride in their work when working in shit jobs.

Number one pet peeve was that nothing was where it was supposed to be. And I swear to god at any given time you could go to the shelves, pick a game off there, and have a 20% chance that it had the cd in there and you could just walk out.

I hated that place. It made me miss my home store so bad.

Meetings don't bother me. Either they're informative or not. No matter what it's just a break.

>chat with the dumbass at lunch

People are a lot more tolerable when they're not a customer. This is also fine.

>nod your head when your manager tells you the wrong way to do something.

Doesn't sound like someone who is going to be a manager for very long.

Anon, that's the first thing you need to learn about employment. People like that will always be managers. Because, frankly, you did whatever it was and if shit hits the fan, they have more pull with the regional folks than you ever will.

>>322568341

That sounds like a company that isn't going to be around very long. Why would I care? This isn't some fortune 500 company that deals in bullshit to pay the bills, it's a fucking warehouse where higher ups aren't going to enjoy that their fucking profit margins are being FUCKED.

What do you think the HR fucks that skim your resume did, honest work?
They look for key words and qualifications. You fill in those blanks, it makes them look smart if you do the job right. Your actual credentials don't mean shit.
