Pros

- Hilti has some great people that work for them. You will meet people that you will want to be friends with outside of work.

Cons

- Senior Management is completely out of touch with the market and with their people. There are a bunch of "yes" men in Senior Management DM level and above that seem to have no greater goal in life than to stroke the ego of the CEO - Communication throughout the organization is lousy - It is a very political environment i.e. you will not be promoted on merit but rather on who likes you higher up - Constantly reinventing the wheel and changing without rhyme or reason - Lack of Diversity - Not much appreciation for the hard work of their employees (and very little work/life balance)

Pros

You are your own boss and run your own territory as you see fit. Great products and highly regarded name in the industry.

Cons

Upper-level management is instituting more and more KPIs. This would be fine if Salesforce was more automated for the company, but there is a heavy manual component to input all of your conversations, opportunities, and leads. As an Account Manager you are expected to wear too many hats and it takes a long time to get ramped up to be effective in the job. You are expected to be a subject matter expert on many different product lines, handle logistics, credit issues, stock shortages, and be able to communicate effectively on jobsites all the way up to the C-suite level.
