Pluspunten

- Starting salary - Training is well regarded within the industry - Develops good work ethic due to their unrealistic expectations of work

Minpunten

Where do I start?! - Awful bonus scheme and complicated to calculate. - Attempted "brainwashing" by management - Micromanagement + 100s of KPIs. No matter how well someone is doing they always find something to be negative about. - Extremely long hours with commuting time (up to 3 hours) expected to be done in own time before 8.30-5.30 day visiting customers - Monday and Friday is similar to being in a call center - Promises of progression and promotions that are meaningless to try and keep staff engaged - Low pay rises so salary soon falls below market rate - Rarely praise but management jump at the chance to shame publicly - Unrealistic targets and expectations - No work/life balance - Office culture is poor. Most people feel the same as this review and it is discussed regularly leaving a negative atmosphere - Staff turnover is high. Small % of staff have been here longer than 2 years as people leave due to growing fed-up with Keyence - Keyence know their reputation and culture is so bad that they have asked senior employees to write positive reviews and then chased the individuals that hadn't done so

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
