Pros

- excellent sales training and experience - solid wage out of college - learning from people who have seen a lot of sales situations - experience in corporate structure - learn how to negotiate and cold call - manage a full sales cycle which is a huge bonus early in career

Cons

- need to consider the culture you want; Keyence is largely a top down org, all decisions are made for you and your input to change processes will not be considered for a few years. - path toward big career promotions is long (super long). Short term promotions are fast but it’s the same role with small pay bumps each time. - Individualism and new styles of employee methodology are mostly not welcomed because deviation is a threat to the way things are - commissions structure will struggle to compete with other companies especially technology industry - low employee diversity which is important for process innovation

Bad Culture from Top to Bottom

Pros

Work with the newest technology Travel to places you may have never been before Overall young working core, so some similar people to you out in the field.

Cons

Outdated and hard metrics driven company with no pulse on their salesman that are out in the field facing customers everyday. You could sell the most anyone has ever sold in the history of the company but if you don’t make enough phone calls you’re not doing your job in their eyes. They’ll dangle a promotion in your face and once you’ve done everything and more of what they’ve asked, you’ll find it’s not good enough.
