Pros

Pay is OK. Seemly friendly atmosphere, specially when Brad comes to town.

Cons

Front line managers make fun of the 40 and over, if you miss up is not a friendly experience, hope you like the smell of pot, parking lot is full of employees that smoke it. No room to grow unless you are friends with the click. Is a revolving door, typical call center.

This is Brad (CEO) and I want to share my disappointment that you did not have the experience from Freedom that I personally value and take tremendous pride in. We are not perfect; we do care and will work hard to constantly get better and be an amazing home for the 750 teammates I call friends. Pay is good, it is a friendly atmosphere... thanks for that. In terms of 'messing up' - I am personally sorry that not 100% of our team is successful (I certainly wish everyone was), but we do work hard to hire, train, develop and create a culture of success. In terms of advancement, we are growing faster than ever in the 12 year history of our special company and have had more promotions/advancement last year than ever before. We have 750 employees, and are looking to grow hugely over the next year... and I promise we will continue to work hard to perpetuate a culture that has built our great team and that has earned us "Best Places to Work" many years running. I wish we were that for you, but I also hope everyone who we've ever touched (even unsuccessfully) finds the right place for them to succeed. I stand behind our Phoenix managers, leaders and our team. I will visit the Arizona office to reiterate (once again) that we are a special place, a caring culture and a team that works hard to support each other. Trust me that we care. Thanks for your feedback.

Pros

Atmosphere is laid back to a point but don't let it fool you this is a sales job. Your job and income rely on you being able to enroll people with credit problems into their debt negotiation programs. People are nice and willing to help with any questions. There is good support and an open door policy with the upper management.

Cons

When I worked there the leads were horrible and they were working on making changes to bring in better qualified leads to the floor. It is a sales job and you have to perform, although there is some room for a learning curve it can get cut short if you are not showing any improvement. I saw plenty of people getting walked out the door because they could not hack it.

Pros

There is lots of opportunity for advancement. Several employees end up in multiple positions during their employment with Freedom. Internal Applications are encouraged and valued. Lunch is provided for every employee once a month and there a a lot of incentive programs available. Management is very understanding and will work with employees when special situations arise.

Cons

Management is pulled in many directions and there are not enough of them to dedicate individualized attention to every aspect of their departments. Many negative reviews mention management and I can see from years of experience that the Managers are often stretched too thin which causes an appearance of not caring. This is not the case. They try their best but they could use more staff to help them.
