Pros

Freeman is very solid and does many acquisitions each year to grow their offerings for their clients. Overall a great company and a company that does care about their employees. Family owned is both a pro and a con and it's obvious you need to be on the "in" if you want to be promoted or continue employment.

Cons

Lots of politics for a family privately held company who wants it both ways of being able to run things as they (the family) wants and then running it as a Fortune 500 company. Everyone is overworked and expected to work 50-60 hours per week on average.

Pros

Work life balance can be good at times and then it could be horrible. Opportunity for career advancement is there if you wait it

Cons

Salary is not great considering the amount of work we do, plus salaried positions do not make any OT money when we have very long weeks working on show site. Yearly annual raise is 3% which is nothing. The only significant raise you can get is if you get promoted to a more senior role. Also the traveling becomes brutal when you are gone for 10 or more days at a time for these shows.
