2+ Years of Learning and Growth

Pros

I spent over 2 years on the marketing team at Freedom Financial Network and could not have better things to say about my experience there. From my first day to my last day, I felt like everyone from the admin level to the CMO cared about my personal growth and happiness, listened to feedback, and was transparent and proactive with the greater team. When I expressed an interest in learning about a different side of the business, the team came together to help me find ways in which to broaden my experience. When I had a problem - whether personal or job related - I felt like I was supported and given the resources I needed. Unfortunately I ended up deciding to leave in order to work closer to home, but I would not hesitate to go back in the future if an opportunity arose.

Cons

If you are looking for a start-up culture and a weekly happy hour, Freedom is not for you. If you are looking for a stable workplace with good work life balance where you can grow, look no further.

Stingy with everything

Pros

Good work life balance. Depending on your team and manager, there’s certain gems who make it fun here.

Cons

They are so stingy with every single benefit here. Don’t let them lie to you and tell you they have a WFH policy - it’s only for select employees and comes with a LOT of restrictions. PTO is 15 days - they JUST changed it from 10 last year. Holidays are the bare minimum they can give. Even if July 4 lands on a Thursday, don’t worry they won’t give you that Friday off and will make you come in to work. Insurance plans are expensive with high deductibles. No snacks and they actually installed a vending machine in the break room with a large selection of food that you can PAY for. Management is so out of touch with Bay Area standards and refuse to update it. They might have won “best places to work in Arizona”...but that’s because it’s Arizona. San Mateo is not the same as Arizona and culture and needs are different here. When will management understand that? The leadership also doesn’t listen to employees. During the employee survey that went around, it was clear that company and team culture was unacceptable. Nothing has been done to remedy that except for adding more projects onto the workload. Do you know what culture is? It’s flexibility, trust in the employees, competent managers that care about the employee’s career trajectory. You have a TOXIC culture when a flood of employees have left in the past half year, a VP who has worked here for a year hasn’t been able to produce results, and the CMO is so defensive of every single decision that she can’t take other people’s opinions or even have an accurate pulse on what’s going on in the team.
