Pros

Senior level management/owners are very motivational and really believe in the product and employees.

Cons

Specific sales managers make it a difficult place to work with lack of support and bias that simply should not exist. The average Sales Manager last about 9-14 months. The average Sales Rep last about 4-8 months. I made it 2 years and 1 month. If your on the Service Side and good friend on Ken Forbus the General Manager out of Wichita you will succeed. This is a Service Company not a sales Company.

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.
