Keyence reviews

Phenomenal base pay. No 70/30 sales split which is rare. Commission on top of baser makes for an unbelievable entry level job. On a micro level, your manager really cares for you and is always available.

High base salaries (for sales) & you get paid out $.53/mile for driving to sales calls, which covers all your gas, oil changes, and car maintenance. Company is growing rapidly, which is opening more management positions. Since you’re selling tech automation equipment, most of your clients are educated and excited to see your product. Keyence is not perfect, but they have the best products in the market hands-down. Also, when you get hired, you will spend 6-8 weeks in Chicago for training. By far the best training I have ever received (Keyence is my 2nd sales job), and the people you train with become some of your closest friends. I think it depends on what office you’re in, but In my experience, I have never felt “spied on” or judged. The company wants you to make a heavy amount of phone calls, but it will help you book calls and make sales in the long run. It’s a part of sales, if you don’t like it, then don’t be in sales. If I’m entering activity or typing emails, I listen to music/podcasts and no one has ever said anything to me in my 1+ years. Overall, I would say it’s a great company to work for, but keep in mind it is a SALES oriented company.
