Pros

-Training is good -Technology is one of the best

Cons

-They will only follow their culture, the "Keyence way" -No time to breathe, when your inside the office you need to give you 100% only for work -Salary is relatively high but when you realize how much work you will need to do and the sacrifice for a work-life balance, you will realize that you are underpaid. the workload to compensation ratio is appalling. -No OT Pay even you need to go back to the office after a field work. -No respect for Filipino Culture. -They will not pay your bonus even if you're entitled with it.

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.
