Helion Group

My time at Helion started out okay. I did enjoy it in the beginning, but it is not longer the company that it once was. Head of the company has seemingly turned over the keys to staffing professional outsiders, brought in on fat executive salaries, running the company from home while you are required to be in office 100%, and making huge strategy changes at a moments notice. I have heard that the leadership makes their major changes based off of whatever ultra-masculine/body building, bro-dude, overnight millionaire, Grant Cardone-style, wolf of wallstreet-esque book that they happened to stumble upon at the moment. 

- Culture: Same, started out okay. It is now in shambles. Everyone shakes their heads "yes" to everything, while also looking for any decent way out. They do this because disagreeing with the flaky business model is risky. 
-Pay: Compensation is actually half way decent as far as base salaries go.  Commission structure is not comparable to the constant boasted profit margins.  BUT, I would never expect anything to remain the same at this company. Any of this could change tomorrow with a simple trip to a book store.
-Core values are non-existent and a thing of the past. They used to actually push this as important. 
-There used to be lots of opportunities to move up within the company. I would not put any weight on any talk of this now. I don't see any how there could possibly be opportunities in the future. And as time goes on, most promotion opportunities get filled with the outside staffing bro-dudes from their past lives at other companies. 
-Absolutely 0 support with tools, tech, or anything to help you do your job. It just gets cut more and more. If you want to be a recruiter that just stares at a screen waiting on an applicant, go for it. 
-No real training or support from leadership. Any training that I ever did have put on calendar got cancelled. 
-The only plus is that you actually will get exposed to a lot of cool parts of business. I use the word "exposed" very carefully, because that's all it is. You will get exposed to negotiations, cold calling, sales tactics, meetings, contract review, contract negotiations, account management, etc. Sounds cool, right? Exposure is all you will get, however, with no training or support on how to be successful with it. It is possible that you grow and learn in those aspects, but don't expect to be well-equipped. 
-Empty promises: This company is major manufacturer of empty promises and cheap talk. This applies to everyone: middle management, recruiters, salesmen, and contractors.
-Basically, the company is headed by salesmen who found success in previous ventures. Great for them. But, they have the business acumen of a pubescent, 12 year old boy with no sense of direction. They have no strategic vision, and not even a basic understanding of 101 level business, including: accounting, forecasting, hiring methods, hr, strategic management, training, employee relations, etc. Think I'm exaggerating their business competence? lol, try it out. 

Good luck. May the odds be ever in your favor. 


I had the misfortune of working at Helion Group, and it was an experience I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. The company's recent layoffs were just the tip of the iceberg in a sea of dysfunction, mismanagement, and misery.

Layoffs Galore: The recent layoffs at Helion Group were a stark reminder of the company's complete lack of job security. The arbitrary and impersonal manner in which they were executed left many talented and hardworking employees jobless and demoralized. The company showed no loyalty to its workforce, treating them as expendable assets.

Micromanagement Madness: If you enjoy having every aspect of your work scrutinized to the point of absurdity, then Helion Group is the place for you. The micromanagement at this company was suffocating and soul-crushing. Instead of trusting employees to do their jobs competently, upper management constantly breathed down our necks, making it impossible to accomplish anything efficiently.

Inept Upper Management: It's baffling how Helion Group's upper management reached their positions. Their decision-making was characterized by shortsightedness, a complete lack of strategic vision, and a propensity for making poor choices. This ineptitude trickled down throughout the organization, leading to a toxic and demotivating work environment.

Toxic Culture: Helion Group's culture was toxic and demoralizing. The atmosphere was one of fear and uncertainty due to the constant threat of layoffs and micromanagement. Employee morale was at an all-time low, and it was clear that the company cared more about its bottom line than the well-being of its employees.

Communication Chaos: Communication at Helion Group was a mess. Important information was often withheld or delivered in a haphazard manner, leaving employees feeling confused and unprepared. It was as if the company intentionally kept everyone in the dark to maintain control.

In conclusion, my time at Helion Group was a nightmare. The recent layoffs were merely a symptom of the larger issues plaguing the company, including micromanagement, inept upper management, and a toxic culture. I would strongly advise anyone considering a job at Helion Group to think twice and explore other options that value their employees and provide a healthier work environment.

I will start by saying I enjoyed much of my time at Helion. I loved a lot of the people I met and made some lasting friends and connections. I also made a decent bit of money, more than I had ever made at that point in my career. And the work at time felt meaningful. That's about where the good ends though. This is an okay starter company coming fresh out of college to get your feet wet into recruiting or sales, but if you're a veteran/tenured sales person I advise to stay away.

The culture is the biggest issue. It's all over the place. One minute they're preaching "trust each other relentlessly" and "team first mentality" then the next they're letting someone go because they didn't hit their arbitrary KPIs for a couple of weeks. They will HOUND you to hit your calls, hit your meeting goals, etc. And listen, it's sales, that's to be expected somewhat, but with them it's obsessive. Sometimes it feels like they care more about "hitting numbers" than actually helping people. It wasn't always this way in my experience, but within the last 13 or so months, everything has gone downhill. Evidence by the fact that they've closed 3 offices and lost somewhere around 60+ employees in that time. t's not a good sign when majority of the top talent in the company has either left or gotten fired in the past year. If you're in any office besides Nashville, expect very little support, coaching, and guidance. There's definitely favoritism for the Nashville office, and even then they've become very micro-managey there too. 

I don't regret my time being here, but things had run their course. I also wouldn't be surprised if the company goes out of business within two years. I'm not wishing that on anyone, it's just hard to recover from a fall like that. All I will say is, the reputation proceeds them. They've earned their 2.5 star rating on Indeed. If you decide to work there, you have a chance to make decent money, but will you be happy and see this as a company to build and grow a career with? Unlikely.

This is one of the worst companies I have ever worked for.

Last year in 2022 there were so many people fired, and so many people who quit, that you could count the people on one hand, the people that had been there longer than a year, excluding management. You could be there for 5 months and be one of the most tenured employees. 

Management claims autonomy, and you get out what you put in. This is not true. They will micromanage and breathe down your neck. Granted, this is not entirely their fault, as Executives will constantly change KPI's and increase pressures on middle management. 

I have sat and rewritten this review multiple times, to try and include everything. The sheer length of the first draft I wrote would astound you. 

I would highly consider evaluating how badly you need a job before considering working here. I can think of no positives. 

I gave them 2 stars instead of 1, because there are 2-3 people there who truly are kind hearted people, and do their best not to get trampled on. If you find the few hidden gems, you will have a great teammate and friend.





Worked here for a while and knew just about everyone there. The team is young and energetic and fun. This place is perfect to learn how to work hard, learn business, learn sales, and you actually do have a potential to earn some big time money. This industry is actually a good one. 

Now I will say that any start up has its problems. This industry in general has high turnover, but it isnt helped when upper management is very unstable. It really depends what book they are reading to change the entire structure in one morning...seriously....They push openness but stay on guard because they will fire you quick and out of no where if you dont drink their coolade. The company started out great, but the upper management lost what it started out to be. Just look at linkedin and see all those leaders that started the company left and started their own. 

So I went through them for a position in Murray KY and was promised pay at a certain amount turned out that they didn't communicate with the parent company and it caused a huge problem. From day one the communication was a nightmare not from not knowing start times or anything for the first week of training to what we needed by when even told us to purchase tools that we couldn't utilize. Was a complete mess. And god forbid you don't answer a call when your working they will blow your phone up with message after message after message till you answer. Position was supposed to be for day shift but got transfered to nights. Overall communication is key and they seem to have misplaced it along with the ability to properly do their jobs of informing personnel of any bit of information needed for a job.

Avoid this company like the plague. They make their money of the back of good hard working people that's just trying to better themselves. They will tell you they have a great opportunity for you and a great company you can start working for immediately. Which in fact is worse than the one you left. They will tell you anything to get you to leave your company and start with them as soon as the next day just so they can make 3 times as much as you make an hour and cash that check. RUN!!!!

I enjoyed many of the people that I worked with, but the President and CEO have no clue what they are doing.  They are so impulsive, changing direction constantly.  No training, no formal policies and they don't even follow their own handbook.  They let good people go left and right and wonder why they have bad reviews.  Maybe if they would take the time to read and address the issues, they could improve.  They don't care about their people, and it clearly shows.  I'd be shocked if they're around in another year.  If you're looking for stability, DO NOT WORK HERE!!!


Nearly cost me my current job. Was signed and ready to go and the company I would be working for wasn't even on board with me coming on. This should have been set in stone before hiring me and having me sign papers along with pushing me to turn in a one week notice. 2 days before my last day I was told the company hadn't even signed for me to start so I had to go back and cancle my resignation. It puts a big target on your back especially when you were rushed to quit. Do not go with them to get you a job because you may end up with no job at all.

Helion is an awesome place to work. The office is dog-friendly and the people are amazingly kind. The company has a unique culture that encourages people to exceed our own expectations of self.

The company has gone through recent changes, but I believe they are making a consistent effort to build a solid foundation that their employees will benefit from in the long run - the growing pains of a small business.
I encourage anyone interested to give this company a chance.
