Helen of Troy FAQ

Good culture, ok benefits, nice people, flexible, very good PTO, relaxed environment. Lots of training ( if you ask for it)

Cons

You can stay at the same pay grade for a very long time, not much opportunities for growth or promotions, the company has very little rotation so leadership positions do not open up often. If you don't pressure for a raise or promotion your position in the company will not change.
