Pros

Keyence Corporation provides in-depth technical training and has vigorous sales activity requirements that ensure you are well versed in the Keyence sales technique. These requirements also help to provide exposure to the behaviors and strategies that make a good foundation for a successful career in sales. Keyence Corporation also is on the cutting edge of technology in several of the product lines they sell.

Cons

Keyence Corporation is a very highly structured and regimented organization. Keyence can be frustratingly inflexible and has a strong Japanese corporate influence, bordering on micro-management. There is as much of a focus on the sales approach as on sales results, sometimes to the point of losing focus on results.

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.
