Pros

Great holidays off (loved Thanksgiving/Christmas time because this was the only time that people seems to like one another), 401K, PTO and to work from home options. Mr. Freeman is an incredibly a nice person. There is truth, if you treat your employees well, that will take care of you, and be happy.

Cons

No confidential relationship between Managers/Employee. Trust broken. Gossip and backstabbing. Management sucks; Manager tells everyone business; caused a lot of conflict among employees. Threatening to go to HR always resulted in a firing. HR wants to terminate without all the facts. No promotions or advancement unless you're in the "same circle", so no room for growth or opportunity as they tell you upon hire. Or unless you're so-in-so's family member. Again, toxic managers all around. I used to really enjoy working for Freeman; all of this changed within the past 4 years. A lot of people have lost a lot of trust; can't trust managers, VPs are rude, as well.

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.
