Pros

Keyence compensates us very well compared to other opportunities out there. Most managers are great, supportive and don't micromanage. The products are also some of the best out there, so they are easy to stand behind in a sales role. The company is also growing very quickly and is taking on more managers and promoting from within. Overall this is a fantastic job for a young person willing to travel and put in the effort. I have recommended it to several friends already.

Cons

Personally I find some aspects of sales stressful, but that doesn't necessarily reflect on the company itself. Beyond that, the usual growing pains associated with a quickly growing company... training could be optimized a little better, communication is occasionally lackluster between corporate and sales offices.

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.
