Pros

I have loved my time in Buffalo as a UniFirst sales rep. Buffalo has phenomenal leadership. The Sales manager and General manager want you to succeed just as much as you do in making sales and making money. Everyone at the location is ready and willing to help, you cant beat the culture here. There is a lot of corporate training (6 weeks in the beginning) as well as continued corporate training as well as location training to help you do well in your career as a sales rep. This is a great position whether your looking to start a career in sales or to continue a career in sales. The base salary and potential for commission is better than comparable positions in the area.

Cons

Make sure you want to cold call and work hard . This is a true new accounts sales position. The work life balance is very good but don't expect this job to be a cushy sales job, you will have to work hard to see results .( However whether you move up in the company - there are great opportunities to do this or move on eventually the experience you will have is extremely valuable)

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.
