GameStop Hiring Seasonal Employees Locally, Throughout Atlanta

By Marc Richardson

One of the best ways for a discount on the new Grand Theft Auto game or for the brand-new Playstation may just be to snag one of the 17,000 seasonal jobs that GameStop will have available this year.

According to a press release, "GameStop announced plans to hire approximately 17,000 employees nationwide as the company prepares for the upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One console launches, and the busy holiday shopping season."

GameStop is the world's largest multichannel retailer of video games, and has about 130 stores in Georgia.

The positions GameStop is currently recruiting for include in-store Game Advisors, consumer electronic technicians within its refurbishment operation center (ROC), and warehouse personnel within the company's two distribution centers. This year's total number of seasonal hires is in line with the number of hires GameStop made during the same period in 2012.

In the weeks leading up to the holidays, GameStop experiences a substantial peak in the number of customers it services online and within its retail stores. As a result, ensuring that there is an adequate number of talented Game Advisor staff to support this increase in store traffic is a priority in order to maintain the high quality of customer service shoppers expect from GameStop.

The following GameStop locations are in the process of hiring just now for the holidays, including two in this area.
