Pros

The pay was good until it wasn't. Raises didn't keep up with inflation over the years.

Cons

Awful management. Management response to bad quarters was calling everyone back to office. Management reads from a script. One requirement as a leader is to add others to social media for spying purposes. Most "leaders" are inexperienced. Most who do have experience take advantage of others in order to climb. Too many middle managers to date. Heavily politicized environment. Nobody cares about you, because everyone is a number. Software Developers are hired 50 percent Visa and 50% American. No skill gap. Just a capital gap. A fair percentage of individuals who quit go to Heartland. People use sick days as a mental health day. If that doesn't tell you something. I guess, you'll just have to find out... Zero stars

Pros

Make a lot of money quickly Can advance quickly

Cons

No work life balance, constant moving of the goal post, very sketchy way of paying out commissions, huge turnover in every sales office, cult like culture. There were 2-3 token POC in the entire executive sales force. I’ve been told by multiple recruiters that they find it impossible to hire diverse staff with management and if they wrote down the real reasons they could told for refusal we’d be sued. They fire people for breathing wrong and don’t give new reps time to ramp up. They have gone on a huge firing spree lately to avoid doing layoffs and even our project Managers have no remote capabilities. They will hold the money you’ve already earned once separated.
