    Default Gamecrazy, Gamestop, or EBGames... Where to work?!

    I'm thinking of getting another job at one of these three locations. My current job is too boring and pays like shizzle. Anyone know which of these is a nice place to work? What are the benefits? Wages?

    PS: I'm leaning towards GameCrazy.
    Mwerp.

    Yeah, working at a gamestore not all it's cracked up to be. Though i would go with gamestop. That way you also get a discount at barnes and nobles to.

    GameCrazy.

    Most of the time the guys are playing games when i walk in there so i'm thinking that place wouldnt be that difficult to work at.

    That's like asking "Where should I work: McDonald's, Burger King or Wendy's?"

    I'd go with gamecrazy. The store is almost always empty and It's the only one of the three that still carries pre-PSX stuff.

    Gamecrazy. You can basically play games all day since they usually have zero customers. Plus you can get first dibs on pre-ps1 games.

    I've worked at Gamestop and EB, and they ate a dick. I'd say GameCrazy, justbecause I have no opinion on that chain.

    Default Gamestop wage?

    Yeh, does anyone know average wages at Gamestop? I'm applying there now and I don't wanna put too high of a number or too low of a number on the "Salary or Wage Desired" box. Much appreciated. Thanks.

    I'd guess minimum wage.

    Besides, you don't really work at a game store for the generous pay.

    lol, well I work for gamecrazy and personally i love my job, its not hard, if you can handle talking about video games all day, and playing them when your bored its easy, we DO do work when it needs to be done, but hey man we get so much free stuff from reps, and whatnot, somelady brought in a NES MINT with box and instructions but didnt have a working rf unit so we couldnt take, it but she gave it to us anyways, and its mine now :P. Fun place to work, and if you do a good job they promote within, i been there almost 2 months now and im already getting 1.50 raise and i will be the shift leader
    Got it in you?
