Great place to work. I've been here over 25 years.
Pros
Freeman is very pro-employee. There are numerous opportunities to provide feedback, offer input and pitch your own ideas. The CEO's door is open all the time and he is always willing to listen to any employee at any level. He holds regular lunches with employees to gather their impression of the company and solicit their honest opinions. The benefits are above average; not only the industry average, but the nation-wide average. There are two kinds of health plans so that employees can choose the one that best fits them and their situation, there is a dental plan, vision, life and legal assistance. Life insurance and long term disability is provided at no cost to the employee. There is a 401k plan with company match, and a profit sharing plan funded 100% by the company. Pay is competitive. Freeman has a compensation program with annual merit increases and a bonus program for salaried employees.
Cons
The only con with this company is its overwhelming need to never say "no." Whether that's "no" to a customer or "no" to an employee, you just don't hear this word. This "yes" mentality creates a lot of work and headaches for the administrative team who ultimately are tasked to make it happen. Anyone can find something to complain about, but there truly is nothing whine-worthy about Freeman.
