Pros

Freeman is very solid and does many acquisitions each year to grow their offerings for their clients. Overall a great company and a company that does care about their employees. Family owned is both a pro and a con and it's obvious you need to be on the "in" if you want to be promoted or continue employment.

Cons

Lots of politics for a family privately held company who wants it both ways of being able to run things as they (the family) wants and then running it as a Fortune 500 company. Everyone is overworked and expected to work 50-60 hours per week on average.

Pros

Freeman has a solid culture and foundation and a ton of potential to break into new markets and transform face to face marketing. Opportunities in digital and data analytics are huge. Company is attempting to grow its footprint in the corporate sector and rehabilitate the somewhat stagnant association industry which comprises the majority of its core business.

Cons

The Freeman culture is quite old school and conservative which means change and innovation is slow and bureaucratic. A fair bit of inside hiring and friends of friends in leadership positions that might be better filled by outside perspective and talent. Not a lot of transparency and not a culture that supports open discord, honest feedback or challenges to authority.
