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

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.
