Pros

You will earn some decent money. A lot of times more than others in the same field. You're out in the field for the majority of the day.

Cons

One of the few linen rental companies that isn't union, and your body will pay for it. Long hours, not much support from the main office. You. Do. Everything. Sort, load, unload, I literally worked from morning to night, and did it all over again. Good money, but not worth it for the lack of a life outside of work.

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.
