Pros

WFH on Fridays & it’s close to the train.

Cons

Hotbed of misogynistic and unprofessional behavior. All employees are paid hourly, not salary, so you need to clock in and out. Only half an hour is given for lunch. There are NO Covid protocols and many workers are unvaccinated and don’t wear masks. Despite this you’ll be expected to attend endless pointless meetings in an overcrowded unventilated conference room just so the CEO can make himself feel important. There is a lot of yelling that goes on here, and a lot of punching down. It can be a very triggering environment for people with PTSD. You’ll be expected to lie to vendors and break MAP on the regular. A lot of vendors won’t do business with Focus Camera anymore. They have the right idea honestly. Focus only wants to be B&H or Adorama and they never will.

We are sorry that this has been your impression of Focus Camera. To the contrary, a majority of our department managers are women! The safety of our employees is our #1 priority. Focus Camera adheres to all federal and state Covid protocols and our policies are posted near the lobby, on the intranet, and in the cafeteria. While we have received requests from employees that it be announced companywide should an employee test positive for Covid, this is in violation of the individual's privacy rights and therefore cannot be honored. We do contact tracing and notify any close contacts, as well as take the proper cleaning steps outlined in our Covid safety plan, which also requires unvaccinated employees to wear masks. We encourage anyone that sees a violation of our policies report to HR so that it can be addressed immediately.

Pros

It's a small company so you're able to make mistakes and try new things.

Cons

The religious culture is very present within the work culture, which is great if you share those beliefs but not so great if you don't. The reviews mentioning the bathrooms are all true. The bathrooms are not very clean. I have rarely ever seen anyone get promoted while working there. They underpay talented people and tell most people they do not give raises until 2 years of employment with the company. Most people are nice but management is not the best. I could say plenty more but I will end by saying that I would not recommend working here if you are looking for a fun or creative environment.
