San Diego City Beat newspaper has published an article shedding some interesting
light on the behind-the-scenes activities of the LEGOLAND California Model Shop.
Having worked for LEGOLAND CA model shop myself, this article rings true. Sadly,
that means that if you have an idealistic view of LEGO and the LEGOLAND parks,
this article will crush your false assumptions. You’ve been warned.

The article interviews Jonathan Eric Hunter, a Model Builder that was hired
after I left, and another MB I have not met. The turn-over rate in the model
shop has sky-rocketed in the past several years. During my tenure I saw 5 Model
Builders leave before me, and since my exit 3 more have left.
The turn-over stems from a combination of a hostile work environment (that the
company seems to be overlooking) and an abundance of potential candidates
(thanks to the Model Builder Search). If you participated in one of those, don’t
be surprised if you get a call one day...
Your milage may vary, but only slightly.
