*slow claps for PP*

I worked at Privateer Press full-time for more than 3 years



Pros



When I worked at Privateer Press there was a lot of camaraderie, mostly good work life balance, and if you like miniatures the company produces you will be able to get your hands on some.



Cons



-Pay is so low it's downright shameful. No raises or bonuses.

-Management is more concerned with doing everything as cheaply as possible than they are with functional quality. If cutting a corner saves them less than 1% then they will cut that corner.

-Very little room for growth and zero professional development.

-Management demands fast turn around on everything. Every project is a rush job.

-Company is creatively bankrupt. No new ideas, just rehashing what worked 5-10 years ago or chasing fads from other companies that fizzled out last year. Unless a new idea comes from the owners the odds of it being shot down are high.

-Owners live in a separate state but want to micromanage everything remotely. Company felt very employees vs. owners because of this.

Advice to Management



To the owners: The writing is on the wall - your company is not doing well. In just a few years you went form over 100 employees to around 30. Your player base is shrinking and you have no idea how to appeal to anyone outside of it. Local gaming shops aren't even carrying your product anymore. The gaming world will pass you by unless you make changes.

You have talented employees who are so hungry at a chance to do work for a table top games company they will take substantial pay cuts to do so. Listen to them and don't get defensive when an employee raises concerns. They aren't doing it to try to dethrone you, they want the company to do well too. [/quote
