Pros

People want to treat each other good

Cons

Hobby Business is high pressure, although maybe not to cut throat situation. Many management team members are not able to really deliver; The word 'Clueless' in other review is perfect word to describe these manage team members that only good at discussing theory and showing their ability to climb the corporate ladder. High politics. High turn over in Management team. High work pressure; Hence how can people really treat each other good?

We carefully evaluate every review on Glassdoor to see what we are doing well and where we have opportunities to improve. Specific feedback helps Horizon and its people learn and grow. I understand contributors to Glassdoor often refrain from providing details in reviews in order to protect their anonymity. Unfortunately, it is hard to know from your comments how we can address issues that have led to your dissatisfaction. As a current employee, please take advantage of our open door policies to talk to members of senior management. Come to Human Resources if you are not comfortable talking to your own department leadership. Sharing your perspective with those who can effect change would be so valuable! Thanks for your contributions to Horizon.

Pros

Recognition & Rewards: Horizon has a genuinely motivating recognition culture. The points-based reward system is a standout policy I appreciated. It creates a tangible way for hard work to be acknowledged and rewarded, and it fosters a sense of healthy motivation across the team. It's the kind of initiative that shows a company actually values its employees, not just in words but in action. Plus you can use your points on gift cards, swag and restaurants. I got myself a Home Depot gift card. Work Life Balance: Horizon understands that employees have lives outside of work, and that balance was always respected. Never feeling like work was consuming my personal time made me a more focused and productive employee when I was on the clock. Exciting Products: Working with great products made the job genuinely enjoyable. There's a real sense of pride that comes with representing something you believe in, and at Horizon, that was never hard to do. We get to work with badass cars, planes and boats. Employee Product Testing: One of the most unique and appreciated perks was being able to take products home to test. As a dad with boys, this was especially meaningful, it made the products feel personal and gave real-world perspective that made me better at my job. That's a rare thing. Supportive Management: The leadership at Horizon sets the tone for everything. Having management that is approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in their team makes all the difference in day-to-day work life. It's something you don't take for granted. Thank you Jenn!

Pros

Excellent benefits, Excellent Perks and rewards, top of the line PTO, great coworkers, a hobby experience like no other.

Cons

Management has no plan, flies by the seat of their pants and then shifts. They do not pay Product Support representatives the average, do not let glassdoor fool you with the average pay. there is no one who makes $21+ an hour, in fact I don't think anyone touches $20 an hour regardless how long they have been with the company. They do surveys but nothing changes or gets done. They do not like remote employees and no longer hire remotely.
