Pros

Time away from countless training sessions on mops, disinfectants, garbage bags, the weaving of specific clothing garments & a litany of the most BORING information possible!

Cons

1) Contract based - Even if you have a client looking to utilize your services, they're most likely already under contract with a competitor. Meaning, you'll have to wait 3 - 5 yrs to "possibly" get their business & even then, you have to wait an additional 3 months for your commission, which is also a 1 time payment with NO residual income, even if the client adds to their invoice. 2) Regardless if actual need, companies do NOT care about uniforms or cleaning products enough to take you seriously & majority of companies either look at you the same way they do with your competitors or are content with the issues they have with their current provider. Simply put.........."The devil I know, is better than the devil I don't". Regardless of the garment rental industry being massive, it's HORRIBLE as a sales consultant. Also keep in mind the relentless abundance of micromanagement.!!

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.
