Pros

Keyence will keep hard workers through the hardest of times and only promotes from within which creates a unique culture where all of your managers did your job at some point. Hybrid schedule between the office and road is nice if you like to move around.

Cons

Travel load and expectations are high. If you don't like cold calling and having all of your possible metrics tracked this isn't for you. Some people also do say experience can be pretty territory dependent

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.
