Focus is a great place to work.

Pros

I don't think the person who wrote the last review works at the same company I do. Focus provides a great work environment, promotes from within, free Thai food or pizza every Friday, a well stocked Keurig coffee supply. They also have an excellent benefits package for a small company that includes life partner coverage and starts on day 1. The mgmt does listen to me and has worked with me to see that I reach my potential growth. Did I mention that they have a game room?

Cons

There is a lot of travel which can be hard at times, but they warned me coming into this position.

Pros

The nice part is that you will meet people from other really good firms and then you can go work at those.

Cons

This is most dishonest place I have ever seen. It makes a used car dealership seem like the model to service and honesty.

Dear Anonymous Employee, I find it troubling to read your negative review. At Focus School Software we hold the opinion of our staff very highly. This is one of the reasons that we hold semi monthly community meetings and publish Executive Management reviews for staff to give their feedback anonymously. These are both opportunities to share your feelings with the management team and fellow team members. I personally have an open door policy, and am always happy to discuss any situation that is making you uncomfortable in your job. It is a company belief that if you spend 40 + hours a week doing something that you should be happy. If you are not for any reason, I would love to help. As far as being unethical, I find that shocking. We have a very close relationship with our clients, which include several User Group meetings through out the year, where we take our customers direct feedback and implement it into our new releases. Sincerely, Steven Harnois Director of Operations

Horrible company - horrible employer

Pros

The only pro is the location of the office

Cons

This is a very immature management team. They treat both their staff and customers very poorly. They lie to get accounts and once the contract is signed they leave you to fend for yourself. Stay away from this company!

Dear Anonyms Employee, I am sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your management team. We pride ourselves in treating our staff very well and with much respect. At Focus it is important to be able to work hard and independently. In order to succeed here you must be an A Game player. We do take our staffs input very seriously which is why we not only offer community meetings and management reviews, we also offer team building events like weekly company sponsored lunches at local restaurants, and several other company sponsored outings like annual baseball game outings and Holiday parties. I am personally proud of how often I hear staff tell me how much they love working at Focus, and the positive feedback I get from customers. If you would like to discuss your personal issues with the company, my door is always open. I’d love to help. Thank you, Steven Harnois Director of Operations
