Pros
Keyence is a great starting place to get experience in manufacturing as a recent college grad. Getting to tour all sorts of manufacturing plants and getting a hands on experience with various automation products was incredibly rewarding and fun. It pays great for someone right out of college, and finding a job after leaving Keyence was super easy.
Cons
Lots of travel and long hours on the road depending on your territory. I spent at least one night a week in a hotel and averaged 800 miles of driving a week. It was less technical of a role than I had hoped for, and at the end of the day it is just a sales job.
