      Great place

      E-commerce associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good environment to learn and grow within your position.

      Cons

      Only one Department works out of Lakewood so the majority of the company is located in Brooklyn but that’s not necessarily a con. Just makes it difficult to cultivate a working relationship with other departments.

      Poor Management, Undervalued Employees

      Assistant buyer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reputation - Focus Camera is still a big name in the eCommerce world for now. Working there for a few years helps get your foot in the door for bigger and better things. Colleagues - I loved most of y'all dearly. Dedicated folks who really had a drive to work hard and push the business to the next level. Lots of them are now gone because of the discussed Cons, but learning from seasoned folks was invaluable. Resources - if you can convince management your idea is a good one, they will readily invest time and effort into its' success. If they could operate like that for everything, Focus would be a great place to work.

      Cons

      Management - Family owned, which means nepotism and favoritism abound without regard to talent or aptitude for management with one cyclist exception. The CEO regularly made other employees cry by screaming at them and threatening to replace them. Layoffs are common after 90 days. I joined with 3 other buyers, and 2 were immediately let go. Undervalued Employees - Not only is everyone substantially underpaid, but they actively cut benefits and salary for everyone while I was working there. You will not get cost of living raises. I once brought up missing hours due to a non-functional timeclock, and the CEO withheld payment until I threatened to contact the DoL with proof and screenshots. That is completely and utterly unacceptable. Inflexible - Management has a very narrow and frankly uneducated view of business and is slow to adapt not just to the labor market, but to the changing eCommerce world. Religion - The other reviews you have read here are accurate. Favoritism abounds if you are of a certain faith, and some really nasty people thrive in an environment they should be fired from with more objective and unbiased leadership. Anyone who is a current employee knows exactly which *short* tempered folks I am referring to.
