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

Discount on products. Very nice colleagues.

Cons

One size fits all management approach does not work. Many employees do not interact directly with customers and hence need to managed in a way that's appropriate to their role.

Thanks so much for the feedback regarding your experience at Horizon Hobby. We often hear that our people are what make us special--many Horizonites form close friendships and choose to spend time outside of work with their coworkers. The friendly, caring people are part of what makes Horizon a great place to work. At Horizon, our mission is to provide an exceptional customer experience. However, as you noted, not every position within the company has direct customer interaction. We would love to know specifically what you think management could do to better support non-sales staff. Please contact a member of our HR team with your ideas. We would love to hear them so we can continue to evolve and improve for our current and future employees. Glad you enjoyed the employee discount on our fun products. Hope you continue your relationship with Horizon in the future as a life long customer. Thanks for your service and for taking the time to post this review!
