Pros

People I work with and most of the ones I worked around. Benefits were better than most. Superior products (tools, anchors and fasteners) that I sold and represented.

Cons

Over the years I have witnessed a shift from their focus on tools and products to software and services. Hilti is a tool company, and IMHO the best in the business. By shifting their focus, they are marginalizing their tool business. Over the years I have witnessed the adoption of the "Woke" culture within Hilti. While not all of that is negative, it alienates a group of employees who are your strongest producers - those who have been with the company the longest and know the business inside and out. Over the years I have witnessed Hilti "Retiring" many of their best employees in favor of younger and less expensive employees. In almost every case this was a detriment to the business and customers. Over the years I have witnessed the promotion of people based on something other than their real qualifications. This has resulted in people in management positions that have no business being in management positions. This has also resulted in the loss of great people who leave the company either on their own or are "Retired".

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.
