Pros: they ocassionaly will treat you to pizza.
Cons: pay, management, lack of direction, etc.
This place is all over the place. I was previously employed with this organization for two years. In the two years I was employed, there were so many different "directions" the company took that it was easy to forget what you were doing. The screening department is treated like customer service, the advocates/hearings people are treated like they are
– more... customer service, meanwhile the supervisors are micromanagers who put the work on thier subordinates. If its something good, they take the credit...if it sucks they blame people. They basically force you to submit poor applications (ones that you know wont get approved) just so you can collect a extra $10.
Dont let them trick you into thinking you are valuable, they will lay you off (like they did over 70 people, many of which were my friends) then outsource the jobs to Arizona and Miami.
This company needs to make over 500,000,000 a month to make profit, something they havent done since April 2011. Do what I did and start working for Binder and Binder. – less
Freedom – July 20, 2012
I have been employed with Freedom Disability for quite a while now. Despite all the changes that have taken place in the past 2 years, I can certainly say that this company has broadened my knowledge of the business and has given me the opportunity to better and challenge myself. Over the last year the structure of the business has changed starting from the screening department all the way up to the hearings unit. The company has been restructured under new management; screeners have been promoted due to their hard work and our company is now performing better than ever. As a screener we are trained by some of the best and knowledgeable trainers to screen every claimant for eligibility and submit a quality application to SSA. Freedom Disability’s fee is on a contingency basis. We only get paid if we win your case. Although we would like to service everyone we do not have the capacity and the means to do so. I am proud to say that I work for Freedom Disability because I have the ability to change someone’s life by simply listening and obtaining benefits for those in need while providing exceptional and compassionate services to everyone.

Is it just me, or is that comment by FREEDOM something that reads like it came out of the employee handbook? LOL. This company actually has people that go over the internet making sure that people arent badmouthing the company online.
