Pros

Keyence is a classic meritocracy. You get back what you put in.

Cons

Consistent with anything you'd encounter with any sales job. You'll work hard if you're doing it right, and you won't get a ton of "atta boy's" from your manager, but you get paid an above average income. As long as you have the emotional capacity to leave your work at work and not take it home with you, the opportunities at Keyence are very solid that anybody should strive to be a part of. Alpha personalities do well. Beta personalities seem to get bitter, resentful, and whine about it on glassdoor.com.

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.
