Pros

Keyence provides the structure and support for highly motivated individuals to build a career for themselves. Continuous investment in new offices and new employees is a key part of Keyence success. Internal promotion policy means that if you prove yourself capable/suitable for promotion you have great opportunities. Targets are clear and rewards are high. New starter handling and retention has become a clear focus for the company over the past 5 years and expectations of new starters are relative to that persons ability.

Cons

This company only recruits the most motivated professionals. Expectation in terms of how you represent Keyence and work ethic are high. It is a sales role after all so you do tend to get out what you put in.

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.
