Pros

-Products are innovative and competitive. -Not hard to sell when creative and understand value proposition. -Product Training is solid. -Great trips and recognition - was Top Sales Club, Masters Club multiple times. Took us to places like the Padre’s stadium in San Diego. Great with trips.

Cons

-Negative Overall Culture. Communication can be lacking and feedback limited to a written communication. -So focused on college students coming out of school they neglect talented individuals that have great ideas and talent to contribute. -Lowest pay of any like competitor (although great benefits). -Account Managers have no way to develop if they are not willing to “move” or “relocate”. Causes stagnation at the bottom levels. -No stagnation at “management level”, but because they require moving often great talent leaves because there is no development opportunities for someone not willing to move.

Hilti Group Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m glad you enjoyed the sales reward trips during your eight years of being a team member. Because of the distance Hawaii is from the mainland, a larger percentage of communication has to be done by email or videoconference than elsewhere. But, a Regional Manager does visit several times per year to spend time with all team members for training and one-on-one career development discussions. In Hawaii, our Account Managers are distributed through all four development levels, which means promotions are available for those who qualify, not needing relocation. To move beyond the top level, one would need to relocate for a period of time, but this is to help him or her gain expanded knowledge in another market or department. While a large number of college graduates join us (along with experienced professionals), every member of our Hilti team has similar development, training and progression opportunities. Once again thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and we wish you good luck for the future.

Pros

Great culture, strong leaders, award-winning products, global footprint and international opportunities. Structured approach to people development. Competitive pay and excellent benefits.

Cons

Slow bringing some key products to the market. Too many specialists and thus very over engineered processes. Too much "top down" management and mutually exclusive messages from top management on tactics.

Pros

Great people to work with (outside of senior management)- whats left anyways Good development offerings

Cons

Unfortunately not the company it was, with senior leadership being out of touch with workforce, lacking engagement & authenticity, murdered the fun, little or no understanding of industry, poor strategy, elongated processes and handpicked promotions based on favouritism rather than business smart decisions. Was once a brilliant company but overall feeling among workforce is despondent, stressed and overworked, with no faith in decisions from above them. Lack of support all round and segmentation causes too many day to day probelms with customers, various directions and strategies across departments, which only stiffles progress and makes customer after sales care difficult. Leadership come and go as a stop shop for development in wider Hilti Group. Leaders here for 3-5 years have not cared about long term and only work on short term wins that help their own personal brand. Bit of a boys club with VPs/SDs take no responsibility or acknowledgement of poor decisions continuously made.
