UniFirst offers a in-depth training process, which is the best pro. In the field, you will have independence to work at the pace you need to succeed. the markets you will sell too vary based on the region and your location's strengths. if you are looking to gain valuable sales experience, then this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Cons

You must be comfortable cold calling and being rejected. Depending on the manager, some oversight can stretch into micromanaging.

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.
