Pros

-Brilliant team members who can make this job really special. -90% of people at the company are the nicest people you will ever meet or work with. -Bonus twice a year which can bring pay to an almost average level for this industry. -Discount on Warhammer products -This would be a great 1st job for someone in this field.

Cons

-Inexperienced line managers who simply want to climb a ladder with no interest of leading a team and zero accountability. -Interdependent communication is strangely over complicated. -Everything is super slow in terms of process, access and making simple decisions. -Online facilities are exceptionally poor and slow everything down. -IT are stretched way beyond thier limit. -No career progression for this field. -lots and LOTS of meetings that lead to nothing. -Below industry standard salary -That remaining 10% may eventually cross your path.

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.
