Pros

Great atmosphere and good people. I love how its family owned and operated and the CEO will be in touch at somepoint with all employees. Very hands on! Really like to hire from within if possible. Willing to relocate employees if promoted.

Cons

There is a major lack of communication between GM's and branch managers. I think the hiring of managers is horrible and from my experince has not been something that has lead to success at my location. GM's think they know sales when they come from service (which is sooooo not the case)!

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.
