Pros

Keyence has a lot going for it. They are always 3-4 years ahead of everyone else when it comes to product development. The company really understands how to get the most out of it's individuals and this results in a lot of upward promotion potential. Since managers are all promoted from within the company you know the person who leads you has been in your very shoes at some point and they desperately want to improve everything they do, from their products, to how they work with employees, to how the very industry they work in operates.

Cons

This may only be a con to some people, but Keyence expects you to work, and to work hard. This is not an easy job where everyone gets out 2 hours early on friday for the company softball game. If you want to work hard you will be rewarded, sadly not everyone wants to work that hard.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
