Pros

Was able to make my own schedule and did not feel micro managed

Cons

the support from management was awful after my hiring manager was promoted and someone else took over. Also national accounts seemed to sweep in and take over an account that they deemed national after I put a ton of work into and then did not reap any benefits in regards of commission.

Thank you for your feedback. One of the great thing about a Sales Career is the flexibility and control you have over your own schedule. It’s unfortunate that you felt you were not given the leadership or guidance that you needed from your new Manager. Developing our Team Leaders to be positive, motivational, and supportive is a top priority and we continue to strive for this through our Team Partner education and training.

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.
