      Outside Sales Representative Interview

      Sep 28, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Cleveland, OH
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UniFirst (Cleveland, OH) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      The interview process started out with a phone call to set up a phone interview. The Sales Manager never called when the phone interview was supposed to take place but called a few days later to reschedule. When the phone interview finally took place, I was asked to do an in person interview. At the interview I was told that there was only one position open instead of three that the Sales Manager mentioned on the phone. After the interview ,I was asked to put a power point presentation together and spend a day cold calling companies asking the companies to answer some survey questions. During the interview which took place on a Wednesday, I indicated that I would not be able to start the field work until the following Monday, my current boss is out of the office. Monday I started doing my field work and at the end of the day I received an email saying: Thank you for your time and interest shown in considering a position in the Sales Department at UniFirst Corporation. We were fortunate to have been able to interview a number of people with strong backgrounds such as yours, making the selection process a difficult task. We regret to say that we will not be moving forward in the process at this point in time. Your regard for our firm is greatly appreciated, and we wish you success in your job search. Again, thank you for your time. I found this very unprofessional. The sales Manager wanted me to jump through hoops when she already had candidates she was ready to hire before I had the chance to complete the assignment. Asking someone to take off work and blow a vacation day and not even giving the candidate the opportunity to finish is uncalled for. She could of easily told me that waiting until Monday would be too late or we are just not interested.

      Outside Sales Representative Interview

      Dec 14, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UniFirst in Dec 2025

      Interview

      The interview process was extensive and involved multiple stages. I first interviewed with a recruiter, followed by a virtual interview with the sales manager. That was then followed by an in person interview with the sales manager and the plant GM, which included delivering a PowerPoint presentation. After that, I completed a final interview with the regional sales manager via Teams. Approximately 30 minutes after the final interview, the recruiter called to express strong enthusiasm about extending an offer and mentioned awareness that I had another offer pending. I was transparent about the competing offer from a direct competitor and was told the sales manager would follow up the next day. During that follow up call, the offer was withdrawn, with the explanation that they could not come close to the competing compensation. There was no opportunity for discussion or negotiation, which was surprising given the role was a sales position and the job posting referenced competitive pay. Overall, the process took approximately two weeks and required me to take time off work to attend the in person interview. Given the outcome, the time investment did not feel respected. Based on my experience, I would recommend clarifying compensation alignment earlier in the process to avoid similar situations for future candidates. It seems like their concern is not with quality sales reps. It's with who they can pay the lowest amount.

      Application

      I interviewed at UniFirst (Pontiac, MI)

      Interview

      The first phone interview was simply a back & forth on my sales experience, like most sales jobs do, then they went over the sales position & compensation. Overall, it was an easy process.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UniFirst (Kelowna, BC) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled for in person interview, At the interview I had to read a phone script . A couple days after the recruiter called to set up another interview, I was instructed I needed to prepare a power point presentation which took a good part of my weekend . At the interview I was told my presentation wasn’t needed for the interview and it wasn’t viewed. I feel my time was wasted in this interview process.
