Pros

You will learn what not to do by observe how they operate. Our Waco office was the first performing office in the country. So bad that corporate sent a guy from Boston to come evaluate why we were so bad. Usually when corporations do a review like that it takes two or three days, he was there for 2 full weeks. Of the 3 sales positions the Waco office had they had run through 5 or 6 reps in about an 18 month. 80% average turnover company wide for sales reps. Pay was really low, they said they added gas reimbursements to your check but I am pretty sure they weren't doing that. This job will teach you to appreciate the good jobs because I wouldn't wish working there on my worst enemy.

Cons

Green is ugly, should have picked up blue. Also mold in places where people eat is probably dangerous. you might consider fixing that..

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.
