Pros

They will hire anyone with a pulse and any sales experience on their resume. Pay is good for entry level. Lots of training most of it actually pretty good.

Cons

They make you watch videos about the dead founder. They make you watch anti union videos. The pay never gets better. The Route Sales (drivers) hate the sales staff. They see any account that is not a whale as a pain in the backside. Many inside staff have been there for 30 years and resist change. They treat Sales people like temps because they are. You are a thief if you want a sample towel for a potential client. They recruit recruite recruite even when they have a full staff, ask youself why??????? The dreaded Blackberry that they are obsessed with.

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.
