A Company Worth A Try

Pros

The pay was not bad. Most people are friendly here. Good training. There are well designed principles and instructions and may help you to get on track soon at work.

Cons

Salespeople are the top priority in this company. If you are not a salesperson, be prepared that you will be treated as second class. And there's a strict rule about off work -- You can not off work more than 9 days (weekends and holidays included).

Pros

Base Pay + Commission Good people to work with Positive changes aimed towards American Culture over last 2 years Innovative products Growing company Management is becoming better at listening to employees

Cons

Sometimes stress sales call/phone metrics over possible sales 2-3yr burnout expected MAG commission is low- 3-3.5% off of 36% effect which equates to ~1.25% of total sale Micromanagement- Need to realize some people sell differently and can be more successful without doing it the Keyence way Mandatory 7:30am-5pm hours whereas similar positions are 8:00am-4pm or no set hours at all for salesman Vacation is low-10 days of vacation starting (12days after 2 years) Some divisions could use a bump in mileage for having to driving SUVs/Trucks/Vans instead of fuel efficient cars

Pros

Was my second job out of college. The pay was better then my first job.

Cons

Japanese work environment. If your manager is not Japanese then he is not your real manager with no real power in the organization. They micro manage everything and expect you to hit many intangible goals besides your numbers. If you hit all your goals its like an 80hr work week. Overall bad experience….job was way more stressful then at other companies that not only pay better but have much better culture and balance and even that’s not saying much but Keyence is that awful.
