Helen of Troy Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Great work life balance, with awesome people to work with. Culture is fun and quirky.

Cons

Professional development and upward movement can be slow.

Pros

OXO is a very creative place to work with a great work/life balance. The people at OXO are hard working and great to work with.

Cons

I've worked in product development for a few years and in the past 1 to 2 years there have been many changes, but not all good. The workplace has always been very flat and continues to be that way.

Everyday is different from the previous day. The culture shift has been real and I have a healthy work/life balance. I feel free to make business decisions based on what needs to be done

Sometimes it feels like we work in a 3PL as my customer support is not local and they do not understand the challenges that we have

Advice to Management

More advertising so the community that we serve know more about what we do and what we stand for.

Pros

Professional and collaborative work environment, good work-life balance, great culture and always improving!

Cons

There aren't any at this time.

Advice to Management

Continue to listen to employee feedback.

Pros

The people in my team were great and there was good work-life balance.

Cons

New management is very disconnected from the needs of the business, consumers and employees. No longer feels like leadership that knows and cares what they're doing now it's more like a dictatorship where no one has any input.

Pros

Cares about work life balance, generally not too political. Still has a lot of spirit. Room for "creating" your own position but not much upward mobility. People are nice and peaceful.

Cons

If you are ambitious, this is not the place for you. If you strive for professionalism, this is not the place for you.
