Trainee

GameStop

-Received only positive feedback on customer surveys by building rapport with every customer
-Exceeded company goals in their "circle of life" program to help maximize profit
-Received exemplary feedback from 2 different store leaders for engagement and organization skills
-Reduced losses by engaging customers.  Prevented theft through presence and conversation
-Improved efficiency through reorganization of floor displays, current stock, and back stock
-Reduced financial errors by accurately accounting for all in-store stock and money

While I enjoyed my time and appreciated the experience of working for GameStop, trying to balance Active Duty, school, transition, and life in general became too difficult.  I love gaming and much of the culture associated with it.  This was a part-time role that I voluntarily took on to make sure I kept up with the gaming industry and to gain some retail experience to better understand employee to customer relationships.  It helped me gain an understanding and perspective as I continue my work in the Human Resources field.
In the 19 months with the company, I've only received positive survey feedback and always exceeded store standards for individual sales and store goals.
