Pros

Keyence has been a fantastic company to work for the past few years. They give you the tools and support you need to succeed and will quickly promote you which comes with increased compensation. They do not hire managers outside the company PERIOD so you always know those above you have been in your exact shoes and succeeded at their jobs. During COVID they quickly adapted and listened to what the employees wanted which has resulted in a hybrid work schedule built to give more flexibility.

Cons

How you are compensated can be ambiguous because commission is only part of you’re compensation and usually not the majority of your quarterly cash bonuses.

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.
