Employees say

"After being in the industry for over 10 years, I learned to truly understand what it means to feel like I'm a part of the team when I came to Highlands."

"Highlands is a great place to work. The culture is really awesome. The company does things like lunch-ins and appreciation day that really make you feel like you matter. Upper management takes time out of the day to listen to you and listen to your new ideas. It's nice being able to interact with upper management on a daily basis. They are very involved."
