Pros

Awesome coworkers, great work, feels like a second family! Work without someone breathing down your neck and watching your every move, as long as you do your job.

Cons

Long hours during Christmas

We appreciate you adding your thoughts about working at Horizon on Glassdoor! When long term employees like you share your experience, it is not only helpful to leadership at Horizon to know how we are doing, it is also helps future Horizonites know what to expect when they become a part of Horizon. I am so glad you chose to use the word “family” in your review…in so many instances, we have seen the company and coworkers rally around employees to celebrate happy times, and provide support during tough times. The family-like atmosphere is hard to find in an employer, particularly in larger organizations. As Horizon has grown and expanded, our leaders have remained committed to that supportive, servant-leadership philosophy. In addition to our internal support systems, Horizon and its people are so generous in giving their time, talents, and donations to many charitable organizations in our communities and beyond. We believe in holding people accountable, but as you mentioned, if you do your job and stay focused on the right things, we like to give people the space to do what they do best. Many of our changes and process improvements over the years have come from the people who do the work each and every day. This collaboration leads to great teamwork and improved performance for everybody. Thanks again for providing a review, and for your multi-year service 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.
