      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.

      Place is horrible

      Senior buyer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nothing positive about this place besides getting a paycheck every 2 weeks

      Cons

      First of all as the Previous reviews all stated the positive reviews are all fake and solicited by management When you walk into this place you will be demeaned & laughed on a daily basis. There is nothing professional about working there. You will be micro managed & called into office at least 3 times per day to get yelled at for no valid reasons besides that he is on a power trip and needs to feel great about himself by putting people down all day. You will get a 30 minute lunch & will be required to punch out you will be under the microscope on when you return from lunch. You will be instructed to lie to vendors on a daily basis. They love those that fear them & stroke their ego. I have seen dozens of employees get fired or quit because of the negativity & harassment in the workplace by upper Management to all the employees. You will go home feeling terrible nightly because you will be berated daily. If you think about working here just don’t. You are better off in a better work place where you will be appreciated and well compensated.

      Unprofessional work environment

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people there are nice and the office is very spacious. If you do not fit in one department, they do move you around until you are comfortable in one which is great.

      Cons

      Extremely under paid and don’t give raises. I quit there months ago and I’m happy I left. The “boss” is manipulative and puts down his employees. He has terrible work ethic and has a major superiority complex. If you try to give a detailed response to something you did, don’t. You are only allowed to give a yes or no response to your actions. If you’re looking for a job that there’s potential for growth and mutual respect, this is not the place for you.

      Thank you for your review. We noticed that you acknowledged that there is growth potential by pointing out that employees have an option of being transferred to another department to find the one that is the right fit for them. We hope that you, too, have found your niche while employed at Focus Camera, and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
