Thank you for 8+ years of service with Horizon. We are glad you enjoyed working with the fantastic people we refer to as Horizonites. Our employees are the heart and soul of the company.It is disappointing to see your comment that we are always downsizing. Like any organization, we respond to the needs of the business to keep it healthy, but we have not had any downsizing in months, and over the course of a decade or more, our turnover has run lower than benchmark averages. That's a statistic we are proud to maintain year after year.It seems from your review that you have not worked at Horizon in some time. We hope things have been going well for you since you left Horizon.

Thank you for your review of employment at Horizon. We are glad that you had a positive employment experience and would recommend us to others. For RC hobbyists, working at Horizon is a dream come true. For those not familiar with RC hobbies, we still have great employment opportunities, and who knows, with the generous employee discount, you may just become a hobbyist!Seeing that you were a Product Support Representative, we understand your comment about stress in the workplace. Helping people over the phone navigate through all kinds of issues takes a lot of patience and the ability to adapt to each caller. Thank you for helping our customers for 3+ years! As a company with low turnover, sometimes it is hard to find a vertical path at the pace an employee wants to be promoted, but we encourage employees to explore career growth by working in other departments and taking on additional responsibilities until the right opportunity presents itself. There is nothing like working in Product Support to really know our customers--it is a great foundation for a number of other positions in the company.Thank you for your contributions, and good luck in your next endeavors!
