Pros

UniFirst is a great place to work if you are tired of politics and worried about whether or not you'll get recognized and promoted based on who you know and associate with. With this company you get out of it exactly what you put in to it. Recognition and rewards are given to those that work hard and get results for that hard work. It isn't easy or laid back, but I personally wouldn't change it. Benefits are on par with other large corporations.

Cons

Because it is challenging, the Outside Sales Rep position is something that has a lot of turnover (not just at UniFirst) in this industry due to it being considered one of the most challenging sales jobs out there. If you are looking to move up quickly with a company, be open to relocating since the tenure is long and higher level positions in the same market or location don't come along often.

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.
