Pros

Awesome and innovative technology where you get to handle it and use it to solve practical problems and make businesses operate better. Managers directly above you really care about your success and improvement. Benefits are great, pay is pretty good.

Cons

Travel is extensive, being in hotels is the norm for some territories. Some offices/divisions territory is split up in ways which don't make sense. Upper Management/Keyence Corporate cares too much about short term sales metrics and constantly increasing goals no matter what the circumstance.

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.
