Pros
Freed is run like a family business. The owner values integrity above all else, both in client and employee dealings. Clients become close friends. The creative department has seen many of the most talented ad professionals in Houston cross its doorway. Job security is strong. The agency is profitable.
Cons
Ambitious creative people may eventually feel handcuffed by the client-first mentality, but it keeps the doors open in a market (Houston) that doesn't really reward creative work. That's a tough pill to swallow for many, but Freed has prospered for decades with just that understanding in its dealings. It's a place creative people go to settle in, raise a family or buy a home, which can be viewed as a pro or a con, depending on your perspective.
