      Micromanagement and Poor Company Culture - Sales Representative UniFirst Employee Review

      Pros

      Not in an office all day everyday, ability to move up in the company if you stick around long enough (most don't and you'll find out why)

      Cons

      Salary is way less than what reps make in other industries or with other competitors, poor commission structure (when you do the math it's less than 1%), unrealistic expectations, quota doesn't take into account your territory. Spend more time doing pointless tasks than actually getting to do the job you signed up for- selling. Negative management, lack of support, boss uses fear tactics and threats instead of motivation. Overworked, underpaid. And you aren't even fully compensated for your mileage, it is capped (I was only compensated for 290 even though most weeks I drove over 800 miles)

      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.
