Work does not have direction though force and displacement have direction as well as magnitude. Also as the scalar product of both force and displacement gives the value of work however the scalar dot product always give scalar component means work has magnitude but does not have direction.
Does work done depend on direction?
If the displacement is in the direction of the force, then work is positive. If the displacement is in the opposite direction of the force, then work is negative. If the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of the force then work is zero. So, the work done depends on direction.
Is work a directional quantity?
Heat and work are transfers—meaning that they have a origin and a destination—but they are adamantly scalars and not ‘directional quantities‘.
