Pros

The employees and people that make this company going

Cons

EVERYTHING is a con in this company! This place is miserable and the management is deplorable. The current state of the company reminds me of the final days of Jim Jones and The Peoples Temple. In the beginning it was all beautiful and then overnight everything changed. I'm not drinking the kool-aid anymore...

Freeman Response

Thank you for your feedback. I am confident that we have already started to “take a step back, pause and observe the current state of the company”. As Freeman has grown rapidly over the past few years, it has become apparent that we just can’t keep doing things the way we have always done them. Staying true to our core value of innovation, we have begun the effort to streamline how we work and make the experience for our customers seamless and efficient. This is a rather significant change for our 90-year-old company as we pivot to better serve our customers, and like with any change, there is sometimes a period of disruption and some discomfort. Much like growing pains, we expect these disruptions to be short-lived. We are diligently working hard to make your job and your experience better, and to continue growing and being a successful business for our customers and our employees.

Pros

The pros were the per diem and the opportunity to travel. I really enjoyed visiting new cities and collaborating with kind, interesting people from across the country at different show sites. The pay was also very strong during busy seasons.

Cons

If you want to join a company where employees are undervalued, expected to obey rather than think critically, and favoritism is openly visible, then please avoid this company. The environment often felt heavily micromanaged at every level of leadership, with experiences of both covert and overt racism in the workplace. There was also a strong sense of competition and distrust among coworkers, where people would undermine one another for personal gain. Leadership and upper management appeared far more focused on optics and appearances than the actual well-being of the employees working on the show floor.
