Pros

Ethics and customer service are highly regarded. Company is known for doing what is right. Great leadership from the top down, always striving to improve. Great way to find out if you are right for sales or not. Lots of room for advancement and promotions come from within. Ability to help companies improve their image and decrease their costs all while providing top notch customer service!

Cons

Tough industry, prospects can be negative and tough to deal with at times. Have to be able to shrug off the no's you hear and keep on plugging away, whether on the phone or out cold calling.

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.
