Pros

Great people. I chose this company over Cintas because of the people. They have had my back from the beginning and have worked hard to help me succeed. This was my third sales job and definitely the best support, training, products and payout. I was skeptical of the commission payout. However, my first year I made about $58k and my second year I made over $100k. Its a great place to learn how to sell and to take that into management or to another company. There are also ample opportunities for advancement especially if you are willing to move.

Cons

Its hard work. I don't know that that's a con but some people want a job were they just show up and get paid. Not going to happen here. A lot of people who are unsatisfied with UniFirst should not be in sales. The CRM tool is cumbersome. I haven't found a CRM tool that is ideal though. Most people feel that are a micromanagement tool and to an extent they are.

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.
