Pros

Alot of companies use UniFirst as a hiring pool. I would put your time in to get the experience then jump ship after a year. Very flexible as long as you do what you need to do. What you put in you will get out, just like any other sales job.

Cons

Sales Mgr. is beyond awful. Suppose to conduct ride along days with reps & never does along with a laundry list of things. Instead sends nasty grams on why you aren't selling when he did nothing to contribute. When this was brought to the attention of upper management, nothing was done about it. There is definitley "the ole boys club" mentality here at this location. Also, not friendly to mothers leaving for maternity. When another rep put her materntiy leave notice it, sales manager asked if he needs to find a replacement!!!

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.
