Pros

So much fun to get paid to talk about video games during the day. Some of your best, most honest customers can become decent friends.

Cons

No benefits other than employee checkout and discount. No insurance, vacations, retirement, nothing. Wage for both managers and associates borders on insulting. Managers have to constantly placate employees disgruntled over workload at minimum wage. This, however, makes finishing projects AND taking care of customers a tall order. Has to be done, though. Too much turnover, the manager is obviously a failure. Buy/sell/trade business model attracts all manner of addicts/scammers looking for a quick buck. Female employees especially reported discomfort with some of the customers we were forced to cater to. Low trade values immediately led to angry customers, some of whom threatened violence due to their likely chemically altered state. Interviews are supposed to take over an hour while manager works through enormous series of psychoanalyzing questions regarding your past work history. (Again, for a minimum wage position.)

Pros

Better than joblessness. But just Barely. A joke of a 10% discount. (Was once a whopping 15%!) *Sarcasm*

Cons

Upper management consistently sets unreasonable goals and then later sets conditions that make reaching said goals impossible. Scheduling is brutal no matter how you slice it, Unless you're already in management. Will work you to the proverbial bone, and do whatever they can to make you burn out so that you quit or screw up so bad they fire you.
