Pros

Fridays are half a day and you will have long weekends. (9 hours a day Monday to Thursday- 4 hours Friday)

Cons

1. Extremely unprofessional environment. 2. They say that they offer Health Care. But what they don't tell you is their cheapest option with a huge deductible and very low benefits will cost YOU $450 to $500 a month. With their pay rate, you cannot afford to have even that least and not good insurance that they offer. 2. CEO yells and humiliates the employees in front of others for no reason. 3. Your complaints are not going anywhere. If you report harassment they will not do anything about it. 4. Your paycheck will have so many "accidental" issues. You literally have to go to HR and tell them that they counted your hours wrong, or they changed your rate or even did not send your paycheck at all. Note: If you have to work there pay close attention to your paycheck. It will never be right. and keep in mind to read their handbook carefully. 5. You have to stay for Over Time whenever they ask you to do and keep that mind that you don't get paid for the first 3 hours of your overtime. (They stated that in the handbook but if you don't read your handbook carefully you will lose time. (They usually don't ask you to stay longer than 3 hours.) So you usually will work 43 hours for the same paycheck. 6. If they promise you to increase your salary after a few months do not trust them. I personally know 3 cases with the same issue. (so make sure you are comfortable working with that salary that you have agreed upon hiring for a long time. ) 7. The management lies all the time so be smart and don't believe what you hear EVER. 8. I have never seen in my life that a company fires that many employees just after their high season is over. (There is no sense of moral and they will fire so many long term employees after the high season.

Pros

Focus Camera treats its employees (like myself) very well, and they do everything possible to create a collaborative work environment. I never dread coming into the office because everyone is pleasant and respectful of one another. All management is reasonable with their expectations and demands, there is room to grow, and you are given vocal recognition for your hard work, which is extremely important to me, especially if I'm spending 40 hours a week in the office.

Cons

Though it's not necessarily a con, you WILL need to learn about cameras and photography at some point in order to truly excel/be involved in the company and its dealings. I knew nothing about cameras and photography prior to working here and am slowly building up my knowledge base, though it's difficult.
