Not Good - Outside Sales Representative UniFirst Employee Review

Car allowance that didn't cover a fifth of what i spent on gas, maintenance, and depreciation on my vehicle putting 550 miles on it a week, training program was extensive but didn't prepare me to sell, initial sales goal is tough to meet if you don't know the industry - contractual sales means very few customers CAN buy from you in the timeframe you are allotted in the beginning and sales are driven by relationships you aren't given time to cultivate, bad service out of my location and driver turnover meant they couldn't deliver on the promises I was making. Even the senior salesman at my location was on probation for poor sales during my entire 8 week period following training. Base compensation was low compared to competitors. Cintas owned the arena and their superior service and contractual creativity made selling Unifirst next to impossible. They told me I would receive a $500 bonus for meeting my initial goal but did not tell me I would be fired if i did not, like several before me, I didn't and they fired me although my manager told the recruiter who found me that I was going to be good in the weeks leading up to my termination. 50+ hours a week for about $30,000 after gas and depreciation on vehicle. Frequent meetings that didn't instruct or inspire.
