Pros

Met a few nice people.

Cons

The money they say you will make is a joke. Micromanagement is also ridiculous. Managers manipulate your own sales to fit their financial goal timeline. Which means you wait forever for commission. They also take money out of your commission after the sale if the client does not buy enough in their first 13 weeks. The five week training process is insane and very out of date. Every company in the business uses the exact same tactics and are sick and tired of the lines everyone uses. There is no relationship between sales and operations. It's like they fight against one another. Healthcare is not good either but at least they offer it.

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.
