Pros

Multicultural environment, young team, time schedule

Cons

Different amount of work depending on languages (the more you speak more work you'll get for the same salary). Micromanagement does not care about your difficulties and some people have more flexibility than others (if the manager likes you you can take extra time off without justification). Loud music in all the office the whole time and the job is office based. Overcontrolling on everything you do in the office and everything you say on the phone. High turnover Possibility to grow only after many years No bonus/compensations on sales you make Colleagues absent for months (baja+holidays) and you have to cover their clients. Extra time is not paid and some days, specially Mondays and Tuesdays, the amount of work requires to stay longer in the office.

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.
