Pros

Above average pay for an entry level sales job. Nothing else

Cons

Where to start? The lies started in the interview process. told I would make 100k selling uniforms and urinal cakes. This is not even close to accurate. Told I needed to be in the field from 7am to 5 pm while management strolls in around 10. Called names by my supervisor. Manager always "too busy" to answer questions. Didn't want me to call him from the field because he was too busy. By far the least friendly place I've ever worked.

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.
