It's a weird place.

Pros

The manager Scott was cool and he's a worker. 45 min lunch. Only 1 shift so alot of overtime and only 1 operator on the machines at a time so alot less of a headache to come in an know how things were left.

Cons

Strange environment and weird energy. Management is basically always in meetings here and it seems to accomplish even less than if they just all emailed eachother. It's a modern world just text eachother what you have to say. You see these office personnel walking around and you ask yourself what they even do for the company. Inspection here is BAD BAD BAD. If your an inspector dont take a job here. I always felt bad for how they get loaded up with work and need to assist operators while constantly abandoned by the inspection superiority. They really need new manager in there who is a worker. They have so much product to constantly check that they'll never get their documentation under control unless some actual computer hours are clocked. There is only 2 toilets and 2 urinals in the men's restroom for the shop floor. Also all the office people come use the same bathroom so good luck!

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing Scott’s leadership — we agree he’s an excellent example of our hands-on, hardworking culture. We appreciate your comments about communication, inspection, and facilities. Helix has been investing heavily in new quality systems, digital documentation, and process improvements to better support our team. Our leadership meetings are focused on collaboration and continuous improvement, not bureaucracy. We’re proud of our growth and are committed to making Helix an even better place to work.

Horrible management

Pros

The only pro is you have like a 40 minute lunch

Cons

Management is incompetent. The CEO has a napoleon complex. If you’re not a part of the front office, forget about a decent raise. They had record profits and couldn’t “afford to give raises due to Covid”

Dear Mr./Ms. Anonymous, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about our company. As the CEO, I always appreciate hearing feedback from our employees, even when it's not what we want to hear. We strive to provide a positive and supportive work environment for all of our employees, but it's clear that we missed the mark in your case. I'd love to hear more about your specific concerns so we can work to address them. Regarding raises, I understand that it can be frustrating when you feel like your hard work isn't being rewarded. As you were aware the company grew substantially during the pandemic and when we reached our goals and beat many of our records, we celebrated with everyone and handed out substantial bonuses. If you didn’t receive a pay increase my guess is that your performance was below expectations as all of our A and B players in the office and in our production, environment are very well paid. Rest assured, we are always looking for ways to compensate our employees fairly and will continue to do so as we continue to grow at this rapid pace. Finally, I'm sorry if you feel like we bring our personal problems to work. I can assure you that we do our best to leave our personal lives at the door and focus on creating a positive and productive workplace for everyone. Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope we can work together to improve your experience at our company. Best Regards, Chris Nook

Pros

CEO is very involved, constantly on the shop floor

Cons

Micro managers. Managers say one thing, do another. Can’t hire people so expect double the work from current workers
