In principle helpful. But gods in those days were there to either help or protect people or to 'explain' natural phenomena, like in this case 'what causes clouds to gather and thunder to roll?" So first of all he simply was the embodiment of the heavens above. But Zeus also had helpful roles: he was protector of markets and punisher of dishonest traders, protector of the truth and punisher of liars. So if you were dishonest or a liar, he would be harmful.
