Pros

Looks great on the surface. The benefits are good. Management talks a good game.

Cons

I've never worked so hard for such little satisfaction or recognition. Constantly Micro managed ( hour by hour) and scrutinized. Never allowed to feel good about successes. Constantly reminded or berated for any short fall in their endless activity qoutas. Sales people not managed for success and results. Managed for failure and turnover, which they have alot of. Corporate culture geared toward young, energetic, and inexperienced sales people they can drive into the dirt and then replace.

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.
