Pros

You can make a decent living if you are a driven self-starter. Many of the corporate selling skills training are geared toward beginning sales reps. Hence the short tenures of true hunters.

Cons

Everything is based on activities, so as long as you understand you are being tracked hourly not a big deal. If you are a selling machine but have tree bad weeks you will be written up.

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.
