Pros

With out sounding like a disgruntled employee there are none. Initially on the surface for the first few months things are great but then the noose is placed around your neck. Excellent long term benefits like pension but that is it. Soon switching to all must drive a van.

Cons

Pressure selling. Managers that are out for them selves (say one thing to you then something else to there boss) Its all about the number of visits you do not the quality of a call so the customer comes second. Bonus structure very unfair a 50/50 split with some people not doing any work and getting half your bonus. Lots of internal marketing ot being in the top times 100 but do your research they are dropping year on year They do like to brain wash you but they need to start listening to the marketing they put out.

Pros

* Excellent products, great systems, complete solutions to specific engineering problems. * The products are easy to use and very straightforward; you could say that they are fool proof; all power tools make a "click" when used correctly. * Excellent school for construction sales, top technical training, great opportunity to learn.

Cons

* Too many changes in medium and upper management in short periods of time. I had 6 different bosses in 5 years, all of them left the company. During that time I also had 2 different Directors (not in the company anymore); the HR Director and most of the HR department also left ... * HR Department offers you a better position for the same salary and promises to give you a raise after 1 or 2 years.... but the raise NEVER arrives! * The company is so focused on getting new customers that they do not pay proper attention to regular, recurrent customers. As a result, they gain one client but lose two or three. * Commission scheme for salespeople is unfair. They split the sale with salespeople & BDs that did not have any intervention on the sale, the specification, or even the collection process.... just because the address of the client is in their territory (but the sale was made on-site in a project located in a different state). By the way, Business Developers do not get commissions on sales, so by splitting the sale, Hilti saves 50% of the commission (no employee gets this money)!
