Pros

Glassdoor requires a twenty word entry for this portion of the review. There are only a words to go, done.

Cons

Freeman Companies recruited me as a project manager on the basis that they were currently 90-100% billable. However, there was nearly no work scheduled, and all of the past projects have been closed out. The communication with my manager was pathetic, he would not speak to me, unless we were in meetings. I would be sitting next to him and he would send me an email. In my opinion, my manager also wanted to run my department, and never wanted me to work there in the first place. So, for the last two months of my employment, management would tell me it was my fault for the lack of work, and each day could be my last. The majority of my employment ended up being sales, including cold calling. It would be a tough sale due to the 30-40% higher bill rates than the completion. At the end, I did land a large client for the whole company. However, the project did not start soon enough to increase my billable hours.

Pros

The pros were the per diem and the opportunity to travel. I really enjoyed visiting new cities and collaborating with kind, interesting people from across the country at different show sites. The pay was also very strong during busy seasons.

Cons

If you want to join a company where employees are undervalued, expected to obey rather than think critically, and favoritism is openly visible, then please avoid this company. The environment often felt heavily micromanaged at every level of leadership, with experiences of both covert and overt racism in the workplace. There was also a strong sense of competition and distrust among coworkers, where people would undermine one another for personal gain. Leadership and upper management appeared far more focused on optics and appearances than the actual well-being of the employees working on the show floor.
