Games Workshop reviews

You cannot live on discounted toy soldiers. You will be asked to work considerable overtime, for which you will not even be paid at your basic rate of pay, you will be expected to be an expert on all things the company produces, act like a child-minder, work every weekend without fail, and work beyond your maximum ability due to chronic short-staffing, all for minimum wage. You will likely be relocated to a new store upon joining the company, thus incurring transport costs you can barely afford at such a low rate of pay. The icing on the cake is a company culture that demands staff to positively hound customers in a robotic, blinkered manner that is universally disliked by the customer. Finally; due to your commitment to work your social life will suffer, to the point where even your own indulgence in the GW "hobby" will almost entirely stop.

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.
