    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Goal-oriented leadership, great work-life balance, open door policy, strong benefits package, challenging yet rewarding work, collaborative environment, woman owned, personable & accessible CEO, company paid training are a few pros from a list of many. Helios advocates for their employees, this culture really promotes a healthy culture. The following quote summarizes the daily feeling I have being an Helios team member: "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life"

    Cons

    The really aren't any cons that I have experienced; there is one things that happens rarely and just simply a frustration, which isn't reflection of Helios; there are times when some clients can be a challenge.

    Pros

    Helios has an accessible, transparent and caring leadership team who are not only committed to the success of the company, but it's clients, the community, and each individual team member as well. And it's not all talk. Even during your toughest moments, the Helios team has your back and gives you the support needed to tackle problems, both professional and personal. While in your best moments, they are happy to celebrate along with you.

    Cons

    Being an HR Consultant can be a rough gig with an erratic schedule... but that's just the nature of the work. I've got nothing negative to say about working for Helios in particular.
