Games Workshop Employer Reviews

Working for Games Workshop focussed around the recruitment and assistance of players into their hobby. This was done through running clinics, lessons and demonstrations of products as well as coordinating events such as tournaments, leagues and contests. All of this served towards achieving sales goals and recruitment targets.

The team at Games Workshop – more... was always small, not just in the store itself but in the company as a whole, making the company feel very tight knit. Many of the employees who worked there continue to have close ties even after leaving.

The best part of the job was certainly watching the customer base grow and develop. Much of our sales were relationship based. You became very close with some of your clientel over the years and created strong ties.

The only downside to working for Games Workshop was a lack of financial compensation. Even as a manager, I could scarcely afford living expenses with a 1 bedroom appartment. At the time there was no achievable bonus scheme. It was this lack that forced me to find employment elsewhere and I was very sorry to go. – less

A generally enjoyable job with some pressure elements relating to time and expected productivity. Quick learning and detailed eye required but nothing that cannot be learned. Polite and reasonable management, very friendly and accomodating co-workers. The hardest part of the job was the uncertainty of secured employment and the most enjoyable part of – more... the job was the atmosphere and the relation with co-workers. – less

Great place for the miniatures hobbyist and fantasy gammer.

This job has been a fantastic opportunity to work for a company that is driven to succeed. Training is surprisingly good and the company flies you to skills camps every 4 months.

Compensation is good not great, benefits are amazing so it balances out.

The main considerations in thinking about this job would be patience with your clients, an interest – more... in the hobby (you can't fake it- either you understand your customers or you don't) and the ability to work on your own for long periods of time.

A large part of the job is managing the shop environment and managing your customers, which is not trained for but is an essential skill to have.

All that being said, I love working in a creative environment where I can work with my hands and work with other like-minded people, and I haven't had a single day where I "hated" my job. – less

Agreat company . I knew it would not last when the jobs were done around here.

Working for games workshop was an amazing experience. I learned a lot about myself in the work place from them. The management encouraged initiative taking and fresh ideas.

As part of their "flag ship" store it was important to work as a team, strong friendships were built during my time their most of which i`m am still in regular contact with.

I – more... worked a lot with "hobbiests" whom I always went above and beyond to meet their needs as customers but i could always bring my passion for what I do into work everyday which made for a fun and enjoyable experince for everyone. – less

I would not work for this organization again if offered the opportunity.

They really took the time to train and advance their, employees.

This was never really a job...
It was doing something I enjoyed while also being compensated for it.
There is a certain passion in being involved in something that you take pride and an enjoyment from.
Everyday was a new adventure and challenged me to exceed my expectations of what I could do.

Entreprise dynamique, beaucoup de formation en interne avec possibilité d’évolution rapide si on correspond à l'esprit de l'entreprise.

Cependant l'instabilité et le turn over permanent du personnel font qu'il est difficile de travailler sereinement, également de gros changements d'objectifs très régulièrement, peut être trop, forçant à devoir réadapter – more... son travail très souvent.

L'objectif du travail était le client, lui conseiller ce dont il a besoin mais lui vendre ce dont il a envie, entretenir une relation sympathique afin de le fidéliser et ainsi de le faire revenir.
Gros travail sur l'accueil et l’évaluation du type de client. – less

Un trabajo bastante divertido y ameno, aprendi a tratar con niños y como encaminarlos al hobby.
Teniamos un gran compañerismo y gracias a ellos se hacia el trabajo mucho mas llevadero.

La parte mas dificil del trabajo fue el tener que atender a clientes que entraban en la tienda unicamente para reirse del hobby y de los clientes.

Lo que mas me gusto – more... fue tener grandes compañeros y la facilidad misma de desempeñár mis labores, gracias a los clientes que realmente les gustaba el hobby – less
