Pros

Some of the people are great. There are opportunities for travel.

Cons

Freeman is not very racially and ethnically diverse. They need to hire more people of color and also implement racial and ethnic diversity training to their current and future employees. This company would be great if it wasn't driven by egotistical people. There are a lot of people in management that should not be in the positions they are in. It all starts from the top. Bad management = bad employees = bad company. They do not hire or promote based on what you know or how many years you've been there, it is based on who they know and how much they like you. There is no work-life balance. The hours are extremely long and at times you are working back to back hectic days which gets very tiresome and stressful.

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.
