Pros

Get to work with great people Toy soldiers are cool Bonus is nice

Cons

Complete inability of business to prioritise results in near-constant state of crunch. When picking two of time, quality and scope, business only ever picks time. Way too happy to hit a date, celebrate it as a success and then ignore/never prioritise the mountains of tech debt generated. Keeps appointing agencies that deliver sub-par work, being surprised the work is sub-par and then expecting its internal teams to own it. Chronically and persistently understaffing and under rewarding its internal teams. Absolutely no opportunity for promotion unless someone above you vacates. Job security is gone now the business is focused on cost controls.

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.
