Pros

Good base pay for starting right out of college. They also have the best onboarding process I have been through and are very diligent about training their sales people and supporting them to be successful.

Cons

This is very much a sales position with little to no actual engineering. If you are interested in sales, this is a great place to start. If you are interested in a more technical or engineering position this will most likely not be the best job option. On the sales side, if you receive a territory that is "underdeveloped" then it will be very difficult to succeed in this position. Keyence is very established so the bulk of your sales in your territory each quarter will come from existing customers. If a territory has a low sales performance (i.e. "underdeveloped") then you will most likely not consistently succeed in hitting your goal.

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.
