Pros

You can feel that Freeman is a family-run business the minute you walk through the doors: warm, welcoming, friendly. As a global company, Freeman has a 90+year legacy; in EMEA, the company is still 'starting up' (which suits me perfectly): lots of room and willingness to shape and mould to make Freeman EMEA a great place to work.

Cons

There's a lot to do. It feels like a lot of working practices have been adopted from other markets just to get started with something – often overly bureaucratic and 'corporate'.

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.
