Pros

UniFirst operates under the core values of a Customer Focus, Respect for Others, and a Committment to Quality. These values are upheld through a number of processes and procedures in place within the company. Location leaders maintain an open-door policy and are always willing to help employees grow within their careers and as individuals. Senior leadership is very active and hands-on with locations and their employees. There are great training programs in place for each position to help you succeed; it is up to you to take advantage of it. UniFirst always focuses on continual improvement - and your voice is heard: If you as an employee feel something could be changed for the better, you are encouraged to speak up (and will even be rewarded if policies/procedures are changed due to your input). The company likes to promote from within and there are seemingly always opportunities to move up. If you follow the training and processes in place for your position, you will succeed, and promotion opportunities will come your way. UniFirst also has a full line of insurance options, profit sharing, 401k, etc. I have been treated very well during my time with the company and have enjoyed working here.

Cons

As with any large company, there are many policies and procedures to follow to accomplish things. While there are many benefits to this, the downside is it can slow things down.

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.
