Pros

Growing company, so good opportunities if you are willing to put the effort in. Can gain skills in not only sales, but technical, marketing, recruitment, product launching and much more. If you put the hours in and get results you can progress quickly

Cons

Sometimes the hours can be very long, but this is the same in most sales jobs. There is a lot of pressure to achieve results but this again is probably the same in most sales jobs

Pros

You will have no better training! Plenty of time and infrastructure for training and development! Company car is a great benefit also! With lots of young professionals it is a fun and vibrant environment. Very difficult to get this again.

Cons

Very demanding KPI's, alot of which don't make any sense, and are not tailored per devision or customer base, this leads to many sales persons fabricating data just to keep up. Management is thr worst of both worlds, Micro management is definitely true of the Keyence management however they are no where to be found when you actually need some direction or good advice.

No pros what's so ever.

Cons

No work live balance. Under paid, overworked. Bulling management that will do anything for a sale at the expense of employees physical and mental health.
