Pros

Company of aggressive growth. Employee investment from company is substantial from day one. For the most part, you will be selling top of the market equipment. People know the strength of the Keyence brand and the solutions we provide. Financially conservative - we have 15 billion in cash/cash equivalents with less than 4000 employees which comes in handy in uncertain times. Not only are we still hiring during the Covid-19 pandemic, I myself received a 25% pay increase. Meritocracy at its finest. Are you top of sales and the sales process? Expect to be rewarded for your work.

Cons

The sales process goals are often unrealistic Pay is good. Not great. Again, fiscally conservative company. No work from home. Small territories can often be the case.

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Cons

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.

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.
