Pros

Great benefits, Salaried position plus commission, Good bonus structure for new employees.

Cons

Commission Structure is sub-par compared to what you are selling. Management more interested in making their own bonus than cultivating a sales force. Unbelievable amount of wasted energy and resources. Technology is extremely outdated. Internal processes are confusing, unorganized and obnoxiously outdated. I can't express enough how behind they are on everything from products to market to technology to internal processes to everyday operations... Its like stepping foot back in the 80's with how they handle business.

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.
