Pros

Good benefits and tons of open territories because management keeps running them off. Publicly traded company. They make the outside sales reps sort dirty laundry and work in plant and on the truck to "understand" their business.

Cons

Sales Management lacks tenure in the industry. If you live in Houston - Run! Pay your outside sales representatives quicker than 3 months after writing a sale. Worst commission structure in the industry.

Thank you for your feedback. We agree that Sales is ever-changing, and we must always be evolving. Over the past several years, there has been an increase in the promotion of Sales Leaders to Location Management. In addition, we began a Stevie Award Winning program called Account Management Education, that all Location and Service Managers attend, and learn to apply Sales tactics to increase customer loyalty.

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.
