Pros

I've been with the company for almost 2 years now, and although there are not a lot of pros to mention, I'll be fair and mention a few. First, the benefits are pretty good compared to other firms in the industry. Second, many of my co-workers are decent people and we seem to have bonded well since we're all in the same boat so to speak. I think my working relationships will be the one thing I value when I have left the company.

Cons

On to the cons... First, we wear logo'd "red shirts" as a uniform. I personally don't feel very professional when I'm asking C-level executives to treat me like a professional when I don't look like one. Uniforms are only acceptable when you're the business owner, or if you're a service sales rep. taking orders. Second, we drive red logo'd company trucks- also tacky. Maybe we should bite the bullet and spend some money on advertising and marketing like our competitors. Third, we're micro-managed. We're supposed to hit 13 accounts a day, and report all actions on our laptop... that's not possible if you get into any meaningful sales conversations. Fourth, you never know how you're getting paid day to day. The payplan changes monthly, and once you figure it out, it changes again. Fifth, working for Hilti means 6am service calls on jobsites, walking in the rain and mud, getting your hands greasy, ripping your clothes, and lugging around 35lb. tools up flights of stairs.
