Here's the thing with GameStop, the reason why they pay so low is they take it as, you would kill to work there because your a gamer. No matter how bad it is there you'll stay with them because you wanna be around games. I work there.
You would think that they would have enough money to pay their employees a bit more in wages considering that they are the #1 game store with thousands around, and it's a billion dollar industry. I moved up to asst. manager and the wage did increase considerably, but still not as much as you would think it would be.
I worked at GameCrazy for awhile also and they were even more cheap to their employees!
So my advice would be if you really like games and don't need a job that caters to cost of living expenses, do it!
