Game X Change Reviews

We had bare bones staffing and hours. You start at minimum wage despite holding responsibilities (like having a key to the store and the code to the security system) that above normal expectations. Trying to take a day off was impossible because you’d have to try and coordinate trading shifts with someone else because upper management only let us have the bare minimum amount of employees needed and the very VERY bare minimum of hours. Every single employee was required to work Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and the day after Christmas so if you had to travel for the holidays, tough luck. I knew employees who hadn’t been home for the holidays in the last 2+ years because they couldn’t travel there and back in time. Raises were trash. No benefits or sick days or anything unless you were a store manager or higher up. The pay increase when promoted to store manager was trash. Store managers were required to work Fridays, saturdays, and mondays, no exceptions, every week. Every employee had to work every weekend, either Saturday or Sunday. Upper management ignores complaints or criticisms. After I left they started taking in way more stuff and way more responsibility was put on employees, and I highly doubt they got raises for that. Also the VP tried to force workers to work during COVID and spread COVID misinformation. Overall a horrible place to work, speaking for the locations in southern US.

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.)
