Pros

Helly Hansen has a strong brand rooted in outdoor performance and innovation, which makes it exciting to work on products that are genuinely used in demanding environments. The company culture emphasizes quality, functionality, and sustainability, and many team members are passionate about the outdoors. Collaboration across teams is encouraged, and there is a lot of exposure to learning about technical apparel, global markets, and consumer needs. Leadership generally values long-term brand integrity over short-term wins.

Cons

Retail store traffic can be very slow during the off-season, which can make shifts feel long and less engaging at times. Staffing and hours may fluctuate seasonally, which can make scheduling less predictable.
