Pros

Great Co-workers, the general atmosphere in the offices and lots of talented and dedicated colleagues, cafeteria on site, free parking and half price on most products if you like wargames are great

Cons

- salaries on the low end for experienced designers - lack of transparency about salaries, culture of trying to supress salary comparison among the employees - Graphic designers and editors paid the lowest in the studios, while put under the most pressure for delivery, while getting all the delays compounded from the previous stages eating into their time - managers got to their roles be staying in for decades rather because management skills, - bad communication - lack of professional art and design direction leading to incredible waste of time - getting stuck in the role with much more pretend than real opportunities to climb - any equality groups reduced to self help circles, not allowed any visibility

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.
