There have been many successful improvements in the last year to quality of life for the employees. Overall, the number of cons here has drastically diminished. Nowhere is perfect, however, and Heartland is no exception. However, look past the limited number of cons that exist and you will find an employer that will give you the opportunity that is equivalent to the work you put in. There are certain unnecessarily strict polices that need to be changed and some employee benefits that need immediate improvement to truly be a "competitive" workplace, but those don't compete with the experience to be gained and the opportunities that can be provided. Probably the best examples of improvements that could still be made would be allowing untucked T-shirts when there are no visitors, matching industry standards for hourly employees paid time-off (10 days per year to start), and fixing the salaried hours requirement and PTO policies in order to be competitive and allow a work/life balance for all employees.
