Pros

As a former sales rep, as long as you work hard the sky is your limit. Entry level position that once you master, any sales job in the future would be cake! Great room for company growth.

Cons

Promoting within is amazing but don't promote the top sales people. They aren't always the best sales managers. Our solid performers need to be more focused on as our sales leaders.

Thank you for your feedback. We agree! The sky is the limit at UniFirst. We promote from within whenever possible, providing our UniFirst Family with many opportunities for advancement. We agree with you about having “assistant Sales Managers,” which is why we created the new Sales Manager Trainee Position and updated our internal Sales Career Path to include a Team Leader role. : )

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.
