Heartland Business Systems (HBS)

Human Resources Intern

May 2022 • Little Chute, WI

What I liked

Heartland's environment is so incredibly positive. From my first steps into the building, it was evident that the employees here work together as a team and family. Coming in as an intern can be intimidating, but both full-time employees and fellow interns made the transition so incredibly easy. Everyone here is rooting for you and will be sure to applaud you in your successes and coach you through any turbulations. Being in the HR role, I was able to gain experiences in recruiting, administration, and have also dabbled with benefits as well. As an intern, you will build a great relationship with your leader (and coworkers) which is why many interns seek full-time positions with Heartland post-graduation. Overall, this is an excellent company to work for with a positive, inclusive environment.

What I liked

The company culture is amazing. As an intern I participated in team building events for the team I worked on as well as events geared towards just the Interns. Everyone there is really helpful and kind. There is no shortage of people to learn from and topics to learn about.

Be ready to learn and ask questions no matter how basic the question may be. The company values having a strong cohesive team and will work with you to build the skill set you need for the job.

Software Engineer Associate

May 2020 • Little Chute, WI

What I liked

Heartland Business Systems does a great job with giving you opportunities to work personally with customers and improve on your skills. Through my internship, I received several certifications and was able to present my work directly to customers. I also appreciated the effort Heartland coworkers put into teaching and guiding me through problems and questions I had. Abby Vandenberg (College Recruiter) did a phenomenal job making the internship experience fun and engaging, which was shown especially through her biweekly checkups. My direct supervisor and fellow coworkers were very nice and were a large reason to why I returned to Heartland after last summers internship.
