While having EB Games on your resume is valuable in the short term, remaining there too long may hinder long-term career progression.The good thingsDuring my time at EB Games, I had the privilege of forming lasting friendships with some incredibly talented and dedicated colleagues. Although many of them eventually left for better opportunities that offered more competitive pay, work-from-home flexibility, and a healthier work-life balance, their support and camaraderie were the highlights of my experience.
The challengesOne of the most significant challenges at EB Games was the high turnover rate, which was not adequately addressed by management. As more employees left, the workload was consolidated and redistributed among remaining staff without any clear plans for expansion. Opportunities for personal development and career progression were limited and often appeared reserved for those willing to take on more work with fewer resources.
Additionally, the company continues to rely on outdated and questionable systems. Despite having knowledgeable staff whose role is to understand the products and hardware, management frequently disregards their expertise. Instead of leveraging this insight to improve efficiency and performance, leadership tends to stick to their own views and processes, often at the expense of both time and money. This disconnect has contributed to an environment where progress is stifled and valuable resources are underutilized.
