Pros

The training offered by Keyence is unmatched in the industry. The typical in classroom training last from 2-6 months depending on the division. The pay is competitive to 80% of the industry. This is a growth company that didn't need to lay anyone off during the recession. Find me another company of this size that can say the same thing. Keyence has the best products in the industry. Customers like to refer to us as the Apple of the industry. This level of quality gives you instant credibility with your customers. You can be promoted rapidly.

Cons

If you are not going the management path your career can easily stagnate after 4-6 years. If you are in a smaller division it can be harder to move up compared to larger divisions.

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.
