      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.

      Not bad anymore (2022)

      Accounting
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Been here for 3 months already and I would like to say it not like what the reviews portray. At least not anymore. They mentioned that the CEO is disrespectful amongst other things. Well I have not experienced this. He constantly tries to teach me the business and cracks jokes with me. I have never seen/heard him belittling anyone. They now have 401k, its only 1% of Annual Salary but something is better than nothing. WFH and Half-day on Fridays

      Cons

      Health Insurance Premiums are Insane! Far commute from Manhattan Jewish Holidays
