Hi,Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your time here at Adorama. I'm sorry you haven't had a great experience during your time here, and it's true that working at Adorama isn't for everyone. Change is constant in our business, and we ask our team members to be incredibly nimble as we serve customers in an industry that changes daily. Related to your comment about the roof, sometimes leaks happen when you are raising the bar at the pace we are and revolutionizing the industry =). Regarding your other comments: we show no bias and you are currently employed here because we are an equal opportunity employer, workplaces cannot be unprofessional by definition, however, people can be and we have ZERO tolerance for that type of behavior, we have had no complaints about unsafe working conditions, our managers are the best and the brightest and they are where they are professionally because of their passion and unparalleled work ethic, and we sell a quarter million products...can you be more specific about our lack of inventory?We are a financially healthy, growing rapidly (including our recent acquisition), and business 101: be the change you want to see in your workforce. Anonymous posts add no value to anyone. We don't want to be Amazon or B&H because we are very proud to be Adorama. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review and we wish you the best in your career!

Pros

Some genuinely talented sales and support employees doing their best despite chaos

Cons

This division operates like a case study in how not to manage people. Behind the polished brand and corporate slogans lies a culture of confusion, coercion, and performative leadership. Data without integrity. Leadership frequently weaponizes flawed reporting systems to justify predetermined outcomes. Metrics are manipulated, dashboards misconfigured, and when inconsistencies are raised, the response isn’t correction — it’s punishment. Retaliatory management patterns. Constructive feedback and transparency are treated as insubordination. The moment you question pay accuracy, policy contradictions, or ethical concerns, you’re quietly moved from “valued contributor” to “problem employee.” A culture of manufactured pressure. Arbitrary “activity minimums,” surveillance-style meetings and micromanagement, and public compliance sessions replace real coaching. Initiative is discouraged; conformity is rewarded. Disorganization at scale. Inter-departmental breakdowns are constant; sales, merchants, operations, and finance contradict one another daily, yet accountability never travels upward. Employees absorb the fallout of leadership’s own missteps. Erosion of trust. Policies change without notice, promises are walked back, and internal miscommunications are spun as employee failures. It’s an environment where you document everything not for collaboration, but for self-protection.
