Pros

Welcoming atmosphere. Very people focused - looking out for members of staff and always open to hear your point of view. Gave support during personal troubles. Management are easy to approach and aren't 'over your shoulder'. All employees are kept upto date on the current direction and progress the company is going through.

Cons

As I think would be inherent in many companies with such a varies skill set and level across workers - all in the same building / site - some departments feel a little segregated or prefer not to mix with workers not in their department. This is most evident as a split between the creative and engineering departments.

Pros

You are going to get a deeper understanding of the hobby you love. I thought I was an expert painter, hobbyist, player, lore enthusiast etc, but I learned so much from the players. The company is pretty laid back, as long as you are honest and do your job, you will do well.

Cons

Even though it's the largest wargaming company in the world, it's not a big company, which means someone has to die or retire for you to move up. Most of their corporate roles are in either in Memphis, or Houston so if you don't want to live there, don't think of about moving out of retail and into the professional side. The stores are generally 1 person, so you are on your own. If something goes sideways at the register, you need to figure it out.
