Pros

Great compensation plan (pay really high bonuses), an insurance plan that is hard to compete with (including the percentage Keyence pays for its employee and their families!), the many philosophies that are looked at when deciding to take/not take an action, the vitaility/stability the Company has sustained when other companies had layoffs, the way the company consistently challenges us to be better than the year before and ultimately the Direct Sales approach that other companies don't seem to be able to get right. The team spirit of all of my colleagues to be #1 in this industry!

Cons

Since we are an ethical company that doesn't believe in unfair competition, we tend to lose people to other companies that don't share the same ideals. My collegues don't seem to really understand the benefits of working here, the Keyence's philosophies and values I have seen throughout my years and "fall" to the recruiter's prey/tactics. I have heard plenty of rumors of people calling Keyence back because it wasn't all that was promised or they didn't have the support they once had here, but then it's too late. It's sad actually.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
