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

If you are a sales person in this company you basically own your schedule, there´s a lot of freedom regarding the way you harvest your territory. You have an always growing path, You compete against all the other employees for better salaries and better job position.

Cons

The hours are very consuming, a typical day can easily be 14 hours working. Its a Japanese company so you can expect a very low tolerance towards discipline and punctuality in every aspect of your work life. The company is based on sales so mostly if you get your sales goals is easier to get your way. If you do exactly what they ask for regarding process but you don't achieve your results there are consequences.
