Great team atmosphere, solid training from corporate level, good pay and benefits, overall a good company.
Cons
No true leadership at local level. A lot of behind the scene's drama and unneeded activity. Let you fly, fall, and burn without taking ownership.

Thank you for your feedback. At UniFirst we really pride ourselves on having a family oriented team atmosphere and first class training programs. It is unfortunate to hear you felt like you didn’t have enough support from the leadership on the local level.
Please understand that we are always seeking to improve our team and our best practices for Management, from a local level all the way to the top. Developing our Team Leaders to be positive, motivational, and supportive is a top priority for us and we continue to strive for this through our Team Partner education and training programs.
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.
