Pros

Founding family (upper management) gives feeling that they truly care about the employees.

Cons

micromanagers -- if they decide they don't like you, your future is toast; management style is old school ... doesn't take input from direct reports.

Thank you for your feedback. We strive to live our Core Values and Guiding Principles every day and are glad to hear that you felt that from upper management. In business you will find that most Managers have their own style and sometimes that style doesn’t mesh with their direct reports. We wish you well in your future endeavors. -Human Resources

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.
