Pros

They will take a chance on you with no sales experience

Cons

-Terrible benefits ( extremely expensive health insurance, no vacation days for a year, only 5 company holidays per year) -horrible management : seems like they will promote anyone -no follow through from all levels of the business (route drivers didn't follow through, stockroom didn't take responsibility)

Thank you for your feedback. It is true that we are open to hiring and training both the experienced and inexperienced. We actually have a new vacation policy that took effect this year that we are pretty excited about. It does, however, sadden us when any of our Team Partners feel their experience was less than positive. We hope you’ve found a much better fit for yourself – one that meets each and every one of your expectations.

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.
