Pros

Great product portfolio. The people you work with on a daily basis. Work life balance (but you have to be your own advocate for this).

Cons

Where to begin. The word "cult" comes to mind. The biggest downside to Hilti is the dogma. Management walks around pretending they invented fire and come close to insulting customers who do not use their products. Every "new" product is treated as if Hilti came out with it (example: cordless multi-tool that has been industry standard for years but when Hilti launced theirs, acted like no one ever saw one before). A number of customers have expressed it is a turnoff being talked down to when Hilti management visits them. The internal employee survey has been going down the last 2 years and nothing is being done about it. Continues to be a revolving door of employees. Becoming cheap with spending (employees can't buy lunch from time to time but there was money for a silly music video?)

We’re glad to hear you had a positive experience with the training and found the team to be welcoming and supportive. It’s great to know the interview and onboarding experience stood out as well. Your note about benefits for contract roles is appreciated and we understand why that’s an important consideration. Thank you for sharing your perspective and for the work you’ve contributed!

Pros

Great team environment. Especially to start off my career in outside sales. Working with construction company’s is tough, there’s a lot of fires to put out. But overtime you grow great relationships with some of the people you’ve helped out. Internally - you will be put in situations that will force you to pivot and be able to think on your feet.

Cons

Sometimes your managers can be spread thin and when you need help to push things through - they are pre-occupied. Also - you spend a lot of time during monthly meeting going over administrative work & solution selling. But sometimes not a lot of time actual training with the material we are selling.
