Pros

Opportunity to earn a great living. Process driven sales teams and tools. Plenty of freedom to succeed when working for the right regional management. It's easy to be at the top because so many are at the bottom. Un capped earnings.

Cons

Sales Managers are not trained properly and are just expected to know how to sell and manage. If you come from outside of the industry expect to feel lost most of the time. Regional sales managers do not know how to coach, train, and develop a sales manager. Most have been only mediocre sales reps or sales managers at best. They are very removed from the real day and life of a sales manager.

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.
