HTLF Bank gives lip service to diversity. Ageism, racism, sexism and misogyny are the cornerstone of this company.
Pros
Remote work life and made positive networking connections with former employees and honest current employees (planning their exit). Great health benefits.
Cons
Caution to anyone over the age of 35 and under the age of 70 years of age. If you are a retiree, former military, stay at home parent, former self-employed/entrepreneurial background or graduate student over 30, HTLF Bank only gives lip service regarding diversity. Disparaging milieu once your bosses, peers and subordinates find out via meetings you are in your 40s or retired from the armed forces for example. They treat employees in the customer care department who have a wealth of work and educational experience from age 35 and beyond as dinosaurs and relics who are an inconvenience to their workplace. Don't waste your time and energy if you are over 35. They don't value people who speak standard English and other languages either. I personally experienced ageism. I witnessed through emails to online meetings racism, bigotry, sexism and misogyny of colleagues and other employees. Employees on my team were the victims of racism and some sexism. If you speak out via email to Human Resources about the uncouth and disparaging behavior of racist employees then you are scrutinized and made to feel that you are a "problem" because you brought it to the attention of management and human resources about irrefutable racism and sexist actions and behavior. HTLF Bank really doesn't value critical thinking adults who try to foster an ethical and non-discriminatory workplace.
