What is the best part of working at the company?
There is limited opportunity for career advancement within the company, even for employees who hold a bachelor’s degree. Upper management appears largely disconnected from the shipping department, despite it serving as a critical component of daily operations. The CEO’s primary focus seems to be on creating viral content and generating revenue, often expanding into new sister businesses while neglecting the long-term development of existing ones. Instead of providing annual bonuses, the company occasionally substitutes them with company-wide events such as bringing in a food truck for lunch, which many employees perceive as a symbolic gesture rather than meaningful recognition. As a result of these factors, employee morale is affected and the turnover rate within the department remains very high. Would not recommended 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The stressful part of working here was the working under pressure with not enough comrades for support. We will be bombarded with tasks then there will be seasons where there isn’t any work at all. Leaving us wide open for layoffs due to the company not making enough “profit”. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A supportive and engaging crew depending on what department you’re in.  However, often times it will feel like there was a lot privilege amongst others. Some people will receive special birthday treatments if they are more “social” than others rather than praised for their hard work and dedication in the company.

Before I started working at Foscam, I worked several low-level jobs -- so one thing that I appreciate Foscam for is that even if you have no experience in a certain field, if you present yourself as an able worker, they'll train you towards for a position they need. My time at Foscam showed me how to connect to customers on a wholesalers level: how to communicate to customers more effectively, how to effectively sell products, as well as how to communicate with shippers to get the products out. It gave me insight on how the anatomy of a business company works. 

A typical day at the office consisted of me going through my emails, talking to sellers on the phone, and every-so-often, giving technical solutions to customers on customer support. 

The management and the co-workers were all amiable people and easy to get along with. Sometimes the management might ask the employees to take on some extra responsibilities due to the small workforce and the only compensation you get is the added knowledge one gets to their skill set.

The hardest part of my job was also the most enjoyable where I had to address the sellers over the phone. Whether it was making sales or offering solutions to the sellers' issues, it gave me a chance to think critically on how to present my perspective to the person and come to an acceptable resolution.

Great place to start work but not a great career. Dont expect to move far the company does NOT offer any room to grow. You're expected to be able to do more than what you were hired to do. You can be hired as a tester but you are still expected to assist the labor intensive shipping team not to forget when marketing needs help you're expected to learn this highly sought after skill WITHOUT ADDED PAY. 


Unfrotunatly Amcrest does not care much for the employee, you won't be noticed unless you are on good terms with your manager. Amcrest does not have an organized system and does not have the greatest employee benefits. Amcrest is geared to look good from the outside, offering things such as 14 days PTO after your first year (This PTO is not as it seems) If you use your PTO and quit or get let go your REQUIRED to pay them what you owe in PTO.  You can expect this sort of attitude all the time.

Amcrest is a great place to work if you want to gain experience in the workforce. It is a fast-paced and team-based environment with an open-floor setup. There are a lot of opportunities to move up if you have good ideas and everyday you learn something new. 

However, the company has built a very toxic, cut-throat environment. The workload and level of responsibility greatly exceeds the amount they will pay. Upper management is terrible. They baby your every move and are very controlling. They control your PTOs. They watch you on cameras. The employers are extremely stingy, selfish, and manipulative. They do not care for their employees. Anyone can be fired or laid off at any time.

The company is rather clam and easy to fit in. Each department has their own work flow system which fits the type of tasks they do through the day. While there are times when the day requires to push more due to changes or new items being introduced, there is usually a good amount out time to do everything and accomplish the goals for the day, be it sales to make or the amount of items needed to ship etc. 

Company is a joke, they don't know how to manage their employees and try to nickel and dime the employees. Salesman at Foscam tend to work on hourly base and commission on how much they sell. If you sell a lot of product, the company will start to nickel and dime you. 

The other bad part is that the company has managers that throw everything at you from sales to support to almost everything on the books without any help. I've never seen this in my life and it's sad to see this.

If there was a way to give them 0 stars, I would.

This is a great company to work for.  It has a friendly work environment with management being very supportive & appreciative. Most all employees seem to enjoy their work & are eager to help each other when called upon. The benefits are the best I personally have seen offered such as vision, dental, life, & medical insurance, a 401K plan, & 14 business days of PTO.  The company also offers several other perks on a regular basis such as Friday breakfasts, and occasional lunches provided by food trucks.

Amcrest is a unique company to work for, in the best way.  The overall atmosphere is very light, friendly, and positive.  There is always room for growth and learning opportunities.  The teams have a strong rapport and are willing to lend each other a hand.  Management is open and ready to listen/work with you on things.  

I love this job due to couple of reasons. 
I love supply chain, logistics and sales. operations.
Nevertheless, there are pros and cons to everything so the pros were that it is related to my major and cons is that employees limit themselves to their own bubble

Worse company I ever worked for, management was horrible. No training at all! Glad I am out of there. The culture there was horrible and people just came and went. No set hours, owners would show up late and supervisor was horrible
