Pros

Other sales reps at the company were great. Commission wasn't bad, territory was large so there was a lot of opportunity at first.

Cons

Starting salary is very low. Very micromanaged, sales manager wants to know what you're doing every second of the day and if you don't have enough activities in your CRM you get in trouble. Health insurance isn't great and is expensive. I don't know if it was the location or corporate but they decided to restrict what you could sell (restaurants are no longer allowed at the location) limiting your earning potential.

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.
