Pros

FANTASTIC Office Environment - Everyone from the guys unloading trucks to the General Manager of the entire office was fantastic to work with!

Cons

It's outside sales, and the truth of such a position is that it's results driven. I was given a very small territory in terms of average income per resident, and opportunities for new business. Plus, the stress of the job affected preexisting health issues. Since I was unable to perform the job properly without risking my health, I had to walk away. Cold Calling is not my favorite by any stretch, but I was willing to try it.

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.
