Ainsworth Game Technology

Working for this company was one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences I’ve had. From day one, there was a clear lack of organization and leadership. Expectations were either unrealistic or poorly communicated, which made it nearly impossible to succeed in the role.

Management was inconsistent and often unprofessional. Feedback was rarely constructive, and employees were frequently blamed for issues that stemmed from poor planning at higher levels. There was little to no support or training, so most people were left to figure things out on their own.

The work environment itself was toxic. Morale was extremely low, and turnover was high—which should have been a red flag. Employees didn’t feel valued or respected, and it showed in the overall atmosphere.

Work-life balance was another major issue. Long hours were expected without recognition or fair compensation, and time off requests were often met with resistance or guilt.

Overall, I would not recommend working here unless significant changes are made. A company should support its employees and foster a healthy environment, and unfortunately, this one falls far short.

What is the best part of working at the company?
None, I  didn't get anything of value from working there.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management does nothing to solve issues. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad, not good.  The people, culture and not willing to work as a team. Within your own team as well.  Majority of people who work there have been there since the company began, people there have key roles that they have no experience in. They obtained that role by default because there was no one else. Employees and managers like to hold on to their own. They don't like change. You hear 10 years ago...or that's the way we have always done it. No communication between departments. Managers don't like to deal with their own departments issues.  They listen but don't do anything about it. You're ousted by most if you don't go with the flow of things..

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get mis -information  or none at all from your department. "Tribal knowledge " gets withheld.  There's favoritism,  you'll work more than others. You get in trouble for taking PTO days, that others who been there longer can take more without getting in trouble.

This Warehouse location operates out of company compliance in many ways. The management is incredibly horrible but due to the fact that the manager and the president are brothers there is no debate. They do not treat their employees good at all and have lost many key-factor employees because of that. Ive been through a lot of abuse with this company hence the fact of why I am in search for somewhere else to dedicate my loyalty. I have never worked for anyone so disloyal, disrespectful, and dishonest in my life. This company has great potential if it was just ran by someone who genuinely care for the well being of the employees. The operations manage is very unfit to be managing anyone. Nobody should be lied to, crossed and deceived by their manager on a daily basis. The abuse and torment that is encountered daily is something that has actually put employees into a bad medical state causing anxiety from being over worked and over stressed. They do not believe in "equal opportunity" and favoritism is towards the female employees.

The work day while supposed to start at 8:00 and go until 5 often starts later for a lot of people due to a rigid start time not being enforced. Not many practical skills are taught that will help outside the gaming industry or business which is what I had been hoping for. Some of the managers really care about you as a person but they have very limited ability's to help. I can't speak of the culture much but there is a Christmas party and HR is trying to make everyone feel valued. The hardest part of the job is putting up with the monotony. You would do the same few things over and over with the only difference being what picture is shown. For the most enjoyable it is the people. Some of them really care about you and are fun to talk to. In most cases it is okay to take a few minutes to talk about random things. There have been all sorts of conversations from just how complicated the universe is to drama from a TV star.

I've never worked for such a massive corporation that had such a personal and supportive feeling to it!  You were in the same work gym with studio heads and execs every day, and were given every resource necessary to succeed.  You knew everyone's name quickly, and the corporate culture continued to encourage that every month with employee gatherings that celebrated birthdays, had annual meetings, and even the notoriously dry and confusing of any corporation's annual benefits briefing was quick, succinct, supportive, and informative!
Since the Vegas division was just consolidated in 2016 to a new building, it definitely felt like they had some relative growing pains, which are bound to happen in such a case, but the challenges that were there no longer exist, and every year's convention continues to surprise the industry more and more with what they are creating, and how quickly they are evolving!

The work load is too big, pay too small. The system that they use is from Australia, where their headquarters are. It is a pain to use. No streamline process management or standardization to any projects. Management is often stressed, overworked, unfriendly, abusive and ready to blame you, they are made to work holidays because Headquarters in AUS doesn't have the same holidays as the US and they demand everything on their time schedule. They treat the US counterparts like second class citizens. Never be better at anything then your boss or your gone. The higher ups only cares about their artists and cutting edge technology. There is a pattern of the company hiring a lot of people and then "lay offs" happen. They are always  doing pizza parties and stupid stuff to make it seem like they have culture, but it's all for show for photos. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Always got something to do everywhere 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of leadership in Shipping. Other department such as production and warehouse have a great leader. But for shipping.... avoid at all cost

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Dumbster fire probably a good picture to have. Everything is just unorganized
 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In shipping day to day is like doing everything. The shipping supervisor is lazy and don't want to take accountability. He will blame you for everything. He will not put his initial or anything to proof its his doing. If you are looking to join shipping.... dont.

I have worked for Ainsworth's US HQ in Las Vegas for about 6 months now.  Salaries and Benefits are on par with similar companies in the gaming industry.  Bonuses are not very generous.  Hours can be long, depending on which department you work in.  The work is steady.  Management is fair. The pay is reasonable.  The company is growing.  Advancement is available in some positions.  The company always throws nice holiday parties and tries to get all the employee's involved in activities throughout the year.  HR is very nice and understanding.  The new building we recently moved into is very nice.

Ainsworth is a small gaming company where you can learn a lot about the gaming industry if you are hired for the right department. The pay is very low for the amount of work expected. There are a lot of unspoken rules and favoritism for long-term employees who are promoted to supervising/manager roles without having the skills, training or ability to lead a team. You have to have be open to independently learning/working here as no one cares about training new hires properly and everyone sticks to themselves. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Can’t think of anything to say. People were unfriendly and you were left alone

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Time constraints and not have a lot of training or a good support time for assistance. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I was out of my comfort zone and was not there long enough it was a heavy work load and no back up support to allow any vacation time

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work, and work same think over and over
