Pros

Great products and if you get a good manager the work experience is great... although some of the managers micro-manage you all day long. you get payed a lot!

Cons

work/ life balance is not very good... often traveling and sometimes you work really long weeks... but that should be any sales job worth having

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
