Thank you for your service with Horizon, and for sharing your thoughts about Horizon Hobby on Glassdoor. Not knowing what department you are referencing, it is hard to respond to your concerns about compensation and career development. We do list openings on our internal job board and encourage employees to advance within Horizon whenever possible. Sometimes the right opportunity isn't available at the right time for an individual, and we understand that people have to make decisions regarding their own personal development and growth. We wish you the best of luck, and please consider applying at Horizon Hobby again in the future if there are positions open that are of interest to you.

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!
