Pros

The office was close to my home

Cons

Poor management who are not properly trained. Your skills are not measured by your work, they are measured on a report. If you have a bad day get ready for the TALK, High Stress, No direction. Get ready and don't say I didn't tell you so. If you remember one thing. Remember this post before you sign the offer letter

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.
