Pros

Outside sales position so you're not in the office every single day. Majority of the co workers and office setting is pretty great. Decent but not amazing pay and a decent commission structure. Great on your resume to move forward with your career.

Cons

You need a great branch and sales manager for a location to succeed. Can't just have one. Current sales manager is a great seller but isnt a great teacher, not organized, has high expectations without really showing you how to reach your goals. At this company you are considered a njmber and your clock starts ticking immediately. No time to build a real database, they expect you to sell right out the gate although it takes time to make a sale. Sometimes you can close a deal on the spot but not often. They preach this is an entry level position but act as if they pay you 6 figures and have those expectations of you.

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.
