What to REALLY expect at UniFirst - Outside Sales Representative UniFirst Employee Review

Management is unprofessional, treat their staff poorly and there is a high level of negativity in the workplace. What is expected of the sales team in terms of daily protocol and administrative practices changes almost biweekly, and the workload expected from you is high compared with the compensation which is on the lower side for sales. Many managers are simply promoted into their positions from sales after having a good selling year, leaving sales teams with leaders who have no managerial skills what-so-ever. They do not invest in their employees unless they like you on a personal level. This is a company that will tell you they are family oriented, flexible and all about their sales people in the interview, that is not the case. The biggest problem i think they have is sales 101: under promise and over deliver. Instead of telling prospective employees that you need to put your nose down, expect to be out knocking on doors by 7:30-8am and stay out until 5:30 at least, make 50-55k and be micromanaged throughout your day via an iPad, they tell you that you're flexible, if you hit your numbers they don't care what you do and that you can make 75-80k your first year.
