Pros

Freeman is the industry leader. A large family/employee-owned company that has solid core values and tries to stay current with technology. This is a trade show production company so you get to work on projects relating to many different industries(retail, pharma, technology, etc.)

Cons

Compensation for graphics pros is woefully low(about 20% below market). Life/work balance challenging during busy seasons. Workload strains the bandwidth occasionally. Warehouse is the dirtiest one I've ever seen. Professional advancement seems only to occur, with few exceptions, via sales department.

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.
