Pros

If you want to be in the uniform business, this is the best place to do it. If they are still there, the management that was in place for the service guys are all really good people who care about the employees.

Cons

Extremely long hours. Average of 60+ per week. Company directives to take pretty much any possible costumer on, even if it doesn't make sense for the RSR to service them. For example, when I was there, we had post offices over an hour's drive from the office that we had to service, and we might have averaged making $2.00 per week to service them.

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.
