      Pros

      Pros are the people you work with on a daily basis. The products are good as well. The pay is good coming right out of college, but can stagnate

      Cons

      Keyence is a machine. All the company cares about is numbers, and that is what you are. Promotion heavily depends on what area/product line you were assigned. The Sensors product line has over 300 sales reps, meaning there is heavy competition for about 15 promotions. Whereas the Machine Vision line has a lot less people therefore a lot more room for growth. Nothing managers/directors can do to help you get promoted. All based on metrics. No such thing as a work life balance if you want to succeed. Very little diversity here at keyence as well. Office was 90 percent caucasian

      Pros

      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.
