Business Outlook
Pros
Freeman offers sporadic training beyond very very basic general tech. I worked loyally for 5 years and only when I really pushed did I get a $3.28 raise. Freeman will work you right up to 38 hrs, even if you are mid-show, and cut you to avoid overtime. The good point is Freeman has a lot of work, for low pay.
Cons
In 5 years as a freelancer, I only attained overtime 3 weeks. They advance internally, ignoring freelancers until they threaten to leave. Worse, they give V1 to brown noses not the natural leaders who have the experience and just are not the type to smooze. Showrunners will throw freelancers under the bus rather take the beating for their problems on show.
