Pros

When I started at Keyence, I was only 21 and a fresh graduate from university. However with very good support and patience from my senior management I have been able to grow into a successful sales person. Progression is fast here and the pay is great. I was even able to buy a house by myself within 11 months of starting! There's a great atmosphere in the office I work in and with the continuing addition of new team members the sales territories are becoming much smaller - which equates to much less time spent travelling!

Cons

Since Keyence has industry leading technical products, it is impossibly difficult not to sell our products! If anything, the targets should be higher which could lead to even higher bonuses! A wider choice of car for the higher value product divisions would be a nice touch as well.

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.
