Pros

It’s an excellent experience if you are a beginner in sales activity. They could teach you an optimum method to interview customers and to catch opportunities and realize them to turnover.

Cons

If you are able to work by yourself, it’s impossible to survive into a Keyence office. Mandatory office days, a strategy for soldiers but almost impossible to create a relationship with customer. A lot of sales calls and only a 5€ ticket to eat at lunch. A lot of ridiculous rules just to put stress on employees. High turnover of people.

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.
