Pros

I like working for a company with such high standards for how I am to represent them. I like that customers generally know us reps to be very knowledgeable, dependable, and expect us to provide the best technology to solve their applications. I like that incentives are mostly in the form of money/pay rather than awards. Keyence does a lot to show us where they are saving money to add it to our pay. I like the independence that I have to do my job as I see fit. Very little to no micromanagement.

Cons

It's very difficult to know how you are getting paid. The pay structure is very complicated. But as many times as I wonder why the number came out lower than I expected are the times where the number is higher than I expected. It just needs to be more transparent.

Pros

Keyence is company like none other, I mean it. From day 1 at training, to going into the field, they prepare you to be the best of the best. The job is demanding, and requires a lot of work, but it is worth it. If you put in the work, you get heavily rewarded. You are working with the best products in the world, consulting for some of the leaders in technology. It is fun, and rewarding. I highly recommend it.

Cons

You will work hard, but is that really a con or an opportunity? It is wear and tear on your car, and a lot of information, but you are heavily compensated, so it works out. This is for Alpha personalities. If you're a beta, you probably won't like it. Keyence asks for the best because they are the best. So think carefully.
