Pros

Good starting salary, good training

Cons

The very definition of micro management. Every detail of your day to day is tracked and logged and analyzed. Bonus structure is confusing and seems to reward process achievements more than sales achievements. Zero work life balance. For one of the worlds most profitable companies, Keyence invests almost nothing into making day to day life more comfortable for its employees.

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.
