Video game retail isn't the best. But the people I work with and the occasional cool customer keep me going. After all, it's only to get me through uni.

I wish I had a job so I could either hate or love it. Unemployment sucks.

It pays for my college, and leave a pretty check for me as well.

If I liked it, it'd be more a career than a job for me.

Yeah man. It's retail and I don't intend on being there forever, but I like peddling used books and I have great coworkers. It's not stressful, hours are pretty flexible and management leaves me alone. Good stuff. I also happen to love customer service. Works out alright.

My job has gotten a lot better over the years. I've been moved to better departments and all the assholes I worked for have quit or been fired/transferred, so it's a lot more enjoyable now. I can't say that I particularly enjoy stocking shelves at a grocery store, but having rang a register for over a year, I will gladly take the job I have now.

I used to like it, but I have some major problems with the higher ups (It's a privately owned business) and after dealing with all the shit for the past three years, I am finally done. It's unfortunate because video game retail can be kind of fun especially with all the cool customers I get to talk about video games with all day.  Thankfully I have a job offer that will pay me almost twice as much as I'm getting paid now, so I think it might be time to move on.

As long as my job remains "Look for work after being laid off," there's nothing to like.

I hate my job..... uhh well it's complicated. I used to hate my job with this fiery passion before when I was just a cashier but I changed positions in the summer. Now I like what I do as a job (I work in one of the offices now so I no longer have to serve clients) I just hate the organization I work for..... which would then kind of equal me hating my job. It gives me money though so I guess I can't complain that much.

Job can be stressful, and I am work-aholic to the point of it being a problem, but I love my job. Best job in the world.

I do not care much for my current job, but since it pays the bills and allows for me to purchase new games every month, then I will have to say I do like my job.

I like the people I work with... if they were all assholes I would royally hate my Job.  Working at a small Mom and Pop diner is fun... but it's hard work.

It was fun, but all the managers changed, and I needed more free time anyway, so I quit. Just a simple movie theatre job.

Yea its alright.  The pay is good and the hours are decent.  My only gripe is that my supervisor needs to accept my friend request on Xbox live.
