Pros
Generally, Freeman treats its employees better than others.
Cons
However, the loyalty that I felt to the company and to the brand was not returned. There is a distinct lack of employee development. When all is said and done, you are there to do a job. You are a cog in the wheel. I am leaving because of a lack of appreciation for me as a person and a lack of commitment to develop me as a person. Freeman is *not* a company genuinely committed to innovation. The company “innovates” solely as a response to immediate need. If it were not for the pandemic, the company would never have made the changes that they have. They are a company that hand holds its employees. They are more concerned about maintaining stability and avoiding disruption to the operation. Companies that innovate understand that they cannot hold hands and pamper their employees because doing so significantly hampers innovation and change. I have been so badly mistreated by employees with months of tenure that I have no desire to be affiliated with the company in any fashion. I thought that I would retire from it and was well on the way to it. I am fed up with the mistreatment, being underpaid and the lack of respect.
