Pros

Weekends off and good benefits.

Cons

I think the issue is diversity. I understand that they include that, but from what I've gathered while working in the warehouse, I've seen otherwise. And unfortunately, being the only African American in the warehouse, I simply don't feel comfortable. Not to mention being commanded by someone who's just a worker like me. And management needs to understand that and rectify that. Because that's how the high turnover rate stays a high turnover rate. And the pay isn't the best for doing more work than your pay. I simply do not feel valued there financially. I'm valued ethically. But not in other aspects. No room for growth. And I notice they do have their favorites as well. When I was an RAR, I felt I made a real difference. But 5 weeks of training, it's not enough. You need AT LEAST a year to grasp everything.l to do it right and it's a bit unfair to those who may not have come from a previous job like this. Once I was in the warehouse, my confidence, joy, trust and value in the workplace was diminishing rapidly. I just don't feel like I'm part of a team.

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.
