Pros

very little pro in Detroit, used to love working for this company when the Chicago office ran shows, now it is like working in prison

Cons

Harrasment and predgidice against older workers, have worked for Freeman for 31 years in Detroit and am still last on the call list, threats against workers by management is common

Pros

Freeman is very pro-employee. There are numerous opportunities to provide feedback, offer input and pitch your own ideas. The CEO's door is open all the time and he is always willing to listen to any employee at any level. He holds regular lunches with employees to gather their impression of the company and solicit their honest opinions. The benefits are above average; not only the industry average, but the nation-wide average. There are two kinds of health plans so that employees can choose the one that best fits them and their situation, there is a dental plan, vision, life and legal assistance. Life insurance and long term disability is provided at no cost to the employee. There is a 401k plan with company match, and a profit sharing plan funded 100% by the company. Pay is competitive. Freeman has a compensation program with annual merit increases and a bonus program for salaried employees.

Cons

The only con with this company is its overwhelming need to never say "no." Whether that's "no" to a customer or "no" to an employee, you just don't hear this word. This "yes" mentality creates a lot of work and headaches for the administrative team who ultimately are tasked to make it happen. Anyone can find something to complain about, but there truly is nothing whine-worthy about Freeman.

Pros

Benefits, ESOP, nice dinners, nice people

Cons

Work life balance is hard. Depending on your boss....who may or may not have management training....you will need to be in the office every day even after you just returned from a 3 day+ business trip. A lot of travel...
