Pros

Great people, good pay, learn a lot!

Cons

Depending on your territory, your job can be soul sucking. West coast is a huge struggle for commodity divisions. A lot of driving and hotel stays. I definitely made most of my money driving! Be prepared to pick up the phones and call away - a lot of cold calling. You can definitely tell that Keyence America is heavily influenced by the Japanese... barely any work-life balance. My advice to you - don't work your life away, get some experience, then leave to work for a less demanding company.
