Pros

Great pay and benefits across the board. Most of the people you work with are genuine, hard working people and are easy to work with. Newly appointed COO for Keyence America is amazing and trying to make positive changes for the employees and company culture.

Cons

Overworked. Internal systems are not easy to work with. There are 5+ systems needed to complete my work everyday. Lack of support and willingness to adapt American working culture/environment from global headquarters in Japan. one of top directors causes unnecessary stress with micro-management style and lack of availability and response. Feel stuck in my current position due to retention

Pros

Make your own schedule during the week, drive around to appointments doing your own thing. Good pay if you hit sales goal, expect about 85-90k total your second full year if you can do it.

Cons

Your life is now metrics, you have numbers to hit and they're not easy. Beyond that every number is broken down into sub categories so you can see how well you're achieving said numbers. These then influence everything your managers are going to tell you. I.E.: you need to meet with customers x times per month (30-40) and of those meeting you need a certain amount at the right companies with multiple people at each. It's a good job for a young person, lots of money and job security since they spend about 100k on training you + getting your equipment. Good springboard into better sales jobs down the road.
