Pros

Coworkers on the sales team were amazing people however you never get to see them. Formal training. Stepping stone for better sales jobs. Get your experience and go.

Cons

Micro managed. Metric driven. Turn over rate is HIGH. Nit pick every way you write up an order. Not only do you have to worry about selling but you have to worry about service messing up and causing you charge backs on your comission statement. Huge divide between sales and service.

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.
