Good Products but Strategy is Inconsistent and Frustrating - Account Manager Hilti North America Employee Review

Pros

Strong product line and solutions offering; hires good people; benefits are fair for the most part;

Cons

Hilti has set out to diversify and become a construction technology company through software and solutions. However, current product offerings that made it possible for Hilti to reach this point are becoming neglected from a corporate and executive standpoint. Micromanagement has become the norm and Salesforce is starting to become weaponized opposed to a tool. Hilti knows where it wants to go, but the execution and shifting priorities are making it difficult for professionals in the field to buy in and believe they'll be adequately rewarded for the change. The combination of these negatives will cause dedicated employees to start looking elsewhere and finding different jobs where that may have been unthinkable 3 or 4 years ago.

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.
