Pros

You get a base salary and mileage as well a company sponsored 401 (k) and annual stocks after 2 years. You don't have to travel overnight outside your sales territory.

Cons

There is very little opportunity to advance within the company unless you are willing to move. There is also a culture from management to say what is "right" but do what is right for them financially. As a sales representative you are treated as a dime a dozen and the turn over is outrageous!!! After selling an account you have to install the dispensers and take the product yourself because management does "NOT" support the sales efforts......

Thank you for your feedback and your years of service. We are happy to hear you are taking advantage of our many benefits. The installation of Facility Service hardware is handled on a case by case basis depending on the size of the Account, the size of the UniFirst Location, and how busy all Team Partners are. And, yes – when everyone’s super busy Salespeople may be asked to chip in. It is true that if you have a desire to advance to a Management Position a willingness to relocate is a plus. However, we do have a well-defined Career Path for Sales Representatives which includes the opportunity to become a Team Leader and/or a Senior Sales Consultant at your Location. Some of the benefits of both include a pay raise and a quarterly bonus based on maintaining your Weekly Sales Average. To find out more about our Sales Career Path check out our Career Path for Sales FY2016 on our Intranet Site and speak with your Sales Manager about applying.

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.
