Best place to work in Phoenix hands down!

Pros

What separates Freedom from any other company I have worked is their culture. You hear companies all the time claiming that they care about their employees, but Freedom goes above and beyond. They really want you to have the perfect work/life balance. Above all of that, the program genuinely helps people put themselves in a better financial situation and propels them to a debt free future. Nothing but the best things to say about this company, I am blown away!

Cons

I have not ran into any "downsides" since working at Freedom for 3 years. You get to chose what schedule works for you. They provide ALL the training and tools needed for any new employee to be successful. Nothing bad to say about Freedom because I personally have not ran into anything negative since being employed in 2016.

Pros

Work life balance Profitable company Free monthly lunch

Cons

Stay away from the San Mateo office, especially the Marketing team. The CMO creates a hostile work environment, including but not limited to: yelling at people behind closed doors; making unwarranted insults; acting arrogant, unreasonable, and hypocritical; setting double standards; very political...list goes on. Problem is that no one speaks up because she's the top boss. Founders are too disconnected from the turmoil on the ground. Otherwise, they'd already have replaced the CMO and certain other hires she made, which would solve a lot of problems and make many people happy. Company lets incompetency stay, especially for VPs and above. If you're a senior leader who's lacking, the company will let you hire your way into a solution to cover up your incompetence. TIP: For anyone considering a role here, go onto LinkedIn and message the people who recently worked at Freedom to get a real sense of what it's like.
