Heritage is proud to employ veterans at our locations across the country. We recognize that military experience comes with invaluable skills, from leadership and organization to problem solving and technical knowledge. In honor of veterans day, we did a Q&A with two Heritage veterans, Bill Cedoz from our Toledo, OH office and Jamie Allen from our Indy Field Services division, about their experience with both the military and working at Heritage:
Please tell us a bit about your career at Heritage. How long have you been here, what do you do,
what job you first started in, any other positions you’ve held, etc.
