      I have been working at Horizon Services full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      -training is always available as they have a trainer at each shop.
      -you have a ton of resources/ support staff.
      -they give you everything you need to succeed and make a killing!
      -if you mess up and you jump in front of it and just be 100% transparent, 99% if the time you keep your job.
      -take home truck with ezpass and gas card.
      -supplies uniforms
      -will co-op tools.
      -even during slow times they still can get you pretty close to 40 hours
      -guys quit because of “BS” 6 months later they’re back.

      Cons

      -logistics is horrible (send a guy in Wilmington to Dover, even though theirs already a guy in Dover and they send the guy in Dover to Wilmington)
      -peak times can get pretty crazy, very long days.
      -expectations can be unrealistic at times.
      -some mangers don’t care about work/life balance and will try to make you feel bad about taking a day off.

      Advice to Management

      Their needs to be team building between dispatch and techs.

      I worked at Horizon Services full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      - Overtime can be available during prime heat and AC season.
      - They do a lot of events and giveaways. Hershey park for the whole company once a year and a casino night and breakfast with santa.

      Cons

      - They make a lot of unkept promises!
                      - When I was hired I was told 1 - 2 weekend days a month and never consecutively in the same weekend (This was true for the first 2 months then and incredible lie and they would not fix the schedule)
      - When things get busy they will simply order lunch and make you feel as if you are not allowed to take your 30 minuet break. When you get up to take it supervisors will ask you where you are going.
      - The managers go into meetings to talk very poorly about people they do not like under them.
      - They put new employees all on the night shift together and for the most part pay no mind if you are having an issue.
      - The giveaways are to trick you into thinking you are happy. Even if you win you still hate your job.
      - The most negative work environment you will ever be in. Everyone hates their jobs and it is a revolving door of people leaving.

      Advice to Management

      Quit so new better people can step up to the plate.

      RIPPING PEOPLE OFF
      ALL ABOUT MONEY
      TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT
      This place was by far the worst I’ve ever worked and they truly do not value their employees and that is why they have such a high turnover rate. Please do yourself a favor and find a local company to work for.

      I have been working at Horizon Services full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Offers high quality products and services to consumers.

      Tool co-op program.

      Potential to earn $100k+

      Fully stocked warehouse.

      Company vehicle with gas card and ez pass.

      Performance is rewarded greatly.

      On site technical and sales training.

      Cons

      Annual raises do not exist.

      Very busy at peak times when it is very hot or cold and the opposite when the temperature is more mild out.

      Backstabbing office politics.

      Not transparent with their vision anymore due to a merge with a financial partner.

      Slowly losing sight of their local company culture in the office as you are looked at as a warm body to produce for the company instead of a valued employee, but that is the trade off working for a bigger (financially) successful business.

      Advice to Management

      Lower/Mid level management is doing a great job and has always been there if we needed help or training and have no negative reviews for the branch managers in the Mount Laurel, NJ location

      Upper management could show more appreciation or at least come in to various branches and keep us updated on changes in the business and stay involved at smaller levels in the company

      Lastly, Dave Geiger has provided many technicians and plumbers with an opportunity for a lifestyle change and financial success through hard work.

      I have been working at Horizon Services full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      I've been with the company for just over 4 years and have grown personally, financially and professionally. I had an HVAC background but have been able to continue to learn the trade while working at Horizon. The Technical Trainer on staff is extremely knowledgeable, always willing to help and helped me grow to the technician I am today. The pay is great and I'm able to provide for my wife and kids! This is great company to work!

      Cons

      I can't think of any.

      Advice to Management

      I worked at Horizon Services full-time

      Pros

      In my experience, my peers and supervisors were all encouraging and appreciative of the work I produced. Questions were always welcomed and someone was always able to provide information or point me in the right direction of whom to ask.
      The company asks a lot of its employees, especially the technicians, but it is to be expected when the organization is very driven to be the best. It is certainly not a place to just "coast". And again, the hard work does not go unrecognized, the company finds ways to express its thanks that goes further than a pat on the back. Certainly there's good reason some of the techs have been there for decades AND continue to be top producers!

      Cons

      The demanding nature of some positions may not be to some people's liking.

      Advice to Management

      Continue to provide the level of service advertised and even go beyond. Continue to hire excellent people and motivate them to give you their best.
