The Freeman Company

Very depressing job. The hours aren’t bad, can be good when needing time off on short notice at least as a cleaner, not the same for production. Good balance of work and life. Extremely physically draining as you have to shovel lots of heavy, sometimes wet, sawdust. Sometimes having to somehow throw it on unreachable belts. Lots of stress on your back, arms, and legs. Doing the work for a couple days will already give you numb arms. very bad in hot and cold temperatures. extremely loud and lots of heavy lifting. Very bad for your lungs, impossible not to inhale loads of sawdust as it’s pouring down on you all day. pay isn’t bad but it’s a dead end job with nowhere up from there except the occasional raise. Will need lots of physical therapy especially after 8+ hour days. Definitely one of the hardest jobs out there.

Was hired for production and then placed in sawdust pit shoving 12 hrs s day. They lied on interview on job , they throw you in a job and don’t give you enough information or training, when you make mistakes they yell at you, Crew yells at you, this is ongoing, never have a good shift management doesn’t know how to do there job, I work 3 months quite ,”loss every thing, wouldn’t recommend this place or company, they fired 7 people with out causes or notice. You will be ok for first months then after that your onthere radar.

The work was repetitive as its production.  But the day passed quickly and the working conditions were good.

Its quite physical due to the nature of the role, but that's ok it kept me fit.  I was on my feet, bending moving and stretching to move lumber.  I was provided with lots of breaks away from the job.

The supervisors and owners were fair and reasonable.  I was recognized for a job well done.

Benefits and pay were market value.

fast pace, high stress environment.

Lack of communication between employee and management, I didn't meet my electrical supervisor until my second month.

currently I have been working there for three months and have not been endentured as an electrician. I spend most of my time performing mechanical maintenance throughout the saw mill.

see other review same as stated, not recommended to work for unless no other jobs are available, managment was bad, blamed for things you never did wrong, people who been there longer dont do any work but take the credit for the work you have done and managment believes them only where they have been there longer

A family run business.  I feel part of the family and the local community.  Whilst no job is perfect, it does a good job of satisfying most of my needs.

The leaders try to improve the work environment regularly.

I feel secure in my role

I would rec to others to work here.



Freeman Lumber is a great place to work! Management is always willing to help and the atmosphere is quite positive and energetic. It is a busy fast moving place that is growing all the time. The pay is good and they offer benefits after 3 months.

I highly recommend working at Freeman Lumber.

Supportive supervisor who helps whenever able.

The company has an impressive operation  and work hard to improve.all the time.

It's a place I don't t mind going to every day to work.  My co-workers are easy to work with.

The most dangerous facility I have ever worked in. Unsafe and the ignorance towards safety is jaw dropping.
In my lifetime there will be a fatality or the mill will catch fire and burn to the ground. During my time here they had 2 fires. One due to poor housekeeping.

Enjoyable place to work the people are easy to get along with.the managers don't bother you to much as long as you do your job as your dispose to.They move you around the plant on different positions so you don't get bored.
