Pros

A lot of freedom to make sales in and outside of your assigned territory. Management are very nice people Stable company

Cons

Hillyard advertises $40 to $80k base plus commissions, when in fact you will be looking at $40 - $50k 1st year TOTAL COMPENSATION (that includes $10k expenses) Hillyard has a turn over rate of OVER 50% in their sales force Hillyard makes sales reps. pay for samples they give to customers. Hillyard makes sales reps pay for shipping of products even if it gives the rep. a negative commission while Hillyard still recieves profits Hillyard's pay is below entry level , but they want seasoned vets Hillyard is over priced for the industry and does not believe in adjusting to be competitive. Hillyard does not give vacation time The rewards are not worth the hard work so be careful.

Pros

Many years ago everything was perfect. Pay and benefits were excellent. Now there is only one pro. There are many good people at the branch level. There is also a little flexibility with your schedule.

Cons

The leadership is now fifth generation. They have ruined 111 years of the perfect company. They do not care about customers and there employees anymore. Sales salaries have decreased by 10% in one year. Warehouse employees are not stable or happy. They never can do there jobs correctly because of lack of leadership. There pay never increased. No opportunity of promotion. Delivery drivers are not good. Customer service has no idea of there job duties. The service department is incompetent. Human resources is not helpful in any situation at a corporate level. They tell employees to go to the providers website on anything like 401k,health benefits. Prices have increased and are becoming not competitive. They are now charging customers above normal industry standard freight costs. Do not care about small customers if they do not order a minimum. Keep in mind this was one of the best companies to work for 2 years ago. They are slowly pushing high paid employees out of there company in order to hire younger employees that don't desire higher pay than industry minimums. If your not family don't work here unless you need a transition job.

Pros

Absolutely NONE but since I have to have at least 5 words of input, they have a 401k plan so that’s a plus.

Cons

If you are a man you have a much better chance of sticking around with job security and being fed business. If you’re a woman hired at the start of a pandemic when schools SHUT DOWN and stopped buying products (with the exception of sanitizer and soaps which Hillyard could not produce enough of to ship orders in a timely manner), and BARELY miss quota considering the circumstances then you’re labeled as a failure. That’s the Hillyard way though…constantly shifting blame to everywhere but themselves. Another review said it, I don’t know how this company continues to operate as it does without lawsuits from its former employees.
