Pros

UniFirst was a great place to cut my teeth in sales. Their sales training is best in class. If you work hard and succeed (and great managers and mentors are willing to help if you ask), you are able to earn promotions and bonuses. My former manager encouraged me to continue learning, UniFirst helped to pay for my Master's degree. I earned many bonuses, several President's Clubs trips and endless recognition. Ultimately I was able to find an extremely well paying position with a medical company, and without my former manager at UniFirst and their excellent sales training and recognition, I wouldn't have been able to get hired at a Fortune 100 medical device company. I am forever grateful for my experience at UniFirst, Pittsburgh 074.

Cons

You truly have to work extremely hard to succeed at UniFirst. You need to be disciplined and have a thick skin. You will make over 100 cold calls each week -- on the phone and in person. Time management skills, courage, likeability and emotional intelligence are the most important characteristics to work here. If you put in the hours, you will find success and receive recognition.

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.
