Pros

Freedom to make your own schedule, good base salary, and you get to meet people from all walks of life daily.

Cons

They make you come into the office and perform a phone block, which is just another way for them to monitor you making phone calls. The worst part about this job is, if you don't turn a new account in every 2 weeks you will be placed on a plan.

Thank you for your review! Many find the freedom that a Sales Career offers to be a major plus. We are also glad to hear that you found the compensation to be a good fit. Our industry is very unique in that we get to work with so many different types of business on a daily basis. Phone Blocks are a chunk of time set aside each week for our Salespeople to set themselves up for success in the weeks to come by calling on businesses and Setting Appointments. The telephone is the most efficient way to reach as many business as possible in a short amount of time, which is why they are mandatory. We want our Salespeople in the office for Phone Blocks so that your Sales Manager has the opportunity to coach and provide you with feedback to strengthen your telephone skills.

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.
