My friends works there and loves it except for the first hour after the kids get out of school. She hasn't had any issues with the company or her manager. The only thing I've ever heard her complain about is that her district manager has been telling everyone to start pushing customers towards getting ready to transition to PS4 when it comes out which most of the employees don't like and is also counterproductive for the company. She thinks maybe Gamestop has an agreement with Sony about it.

Echoing that retail in general tends to suck. It can be a bit better or worse depending on the area, but it will always suck. And being the assistant manager can suck even more if you're expected to be the same as the manager when they're not around but to just switch over to being a regular clerk when they're there.
