Pros

The structural organization and training within the company is great. I was a recent college grad, with no sales experience prior to starting and I learned a lot within just five weeks of training. From video conferences with corporate to on-the field training with my manager, it was a great learning experience. There are a lot of opportunities for promotions and financial growth. There are also many incentives and bonuses that the managers will help you reach.

Cons

It's a sales job, so naturally its a competitive, tough field to work in. Lots of driving- I expected this with a sales job but territories can be large and Houston traffic makes it tiresome. PTO policies- No paid time off your first year (this includes sick days, vacation, etc) and no benefits until after 90 days.

Pros

Upper management genuinely cares about their team, and the hiring process is simple and straightforward. Base pay and the monthly stipend are both fair, and I appreciate the company's structure — questions get answered quickly, and you have dedicated team member support. I also like that the role is self-managing, with CDR handling pricing and deal structuring so you can focus on your own performance. Overall, this company really takes care of its employees.

Cons

The pay structure for this role is a bit unique — after a sale closes, the CDR earns commission for the first few months, and then commission transitions over to the drive team. It's certainly not a deal-breaker, just an observation, and I'm not knocking the company for it. All in all, I had a wonderful experience at UniFirst.
