Pros

The diversity is the only decent part of Focus Camera

Cons

Zero training provided. Working with the boss is like dealing with a 5 year old. You never know what kind of mood he will be in. His mood swings affect anyone that comes across his path. Problems arise and are often never dealt with properly thus creating a chaotic work environment. Comments and suggestions can be made to come across as sexist and racist at times. This job is a means to and end.

Pros

Located in Brooklyn, was close to home. Great Pizza down the block. Chase bank is located on the corner.

Cons

All the negative reviews are true. I've witnessed myself. But, it's too bad if those things don't bother you. Sadly all the "5 star Reviews" here are false. People deserve to know the truth. Work environment is unfair and race biased. It gets away cause it's family own and operated Jewish company. No benefits offered. Health insurance is a joke.

Pros

The only Pros are is that you get a paycheck every 2 weeks

Cons

As the Previous reviews all stated the positive reviews are all fake and solicited by management. When I started working here I was very surprised on how management operates. Management will yell and scream from morning till evening on a daily basis. They will undermine you and belittle you constantly as well as poke fun at the hard working employees. It is quite sad management would do this every day and make you look terrible for no valid reasons. The management are colluding in meetings to undermine the employees. They record meetings as well as make you feel worthless constantly. There are also camera's in the ceiling spying on all employees. In the few large companies I worked for prior to this one is by far the bottom of the barrel. You will be paged through the intercom systems on a daily basis at least 4 times daily and you will be undermined and yelled at publicly. Management has no skills on how to manage and has absolute zero skills on how to talk to you like a human being. You will be treated as if they own you. This place likes those that fear them and those that stroke their ego. There are at least 4 employees hired and fired or quit weekly and its so sad to see. If you think about working here just don't!

We constantly strive to improve the employee experience at Focus Camera. However, we can only do so with your feedback. The goals of management meetings are to improve sales and productivity. It is unfortunate circumstances that prompted us to record certain meetings but we are always willing to work with an employee who is not comfortable with certain company practices in order to see what we can do to in order for the employee to have the best work experience possible. We can only accommodate the needs of an employee who shares their thoughts with us. The average employee tenure with Focus is actually quite high, with a large percentage of the workforce being with the company in the proximity of 10+ years. We are always ready to hear any suggestions from any employee on how to improve the Focus experience.
