      Pros

      There is pretty good pay and commission if you can make the sale. There are Good benefits and resources available.

      Cons

      It's hard to sell uniforms to the general public. The whole industry is similar and its very difficult to convince customers that you're different without using unethical techniques or just flat out lying, which management encourages. You have to put in a lot of unpaid time outside of work to get any sales.

      Thank you for your feedback. One of the many perks of a Sales Career is the direct correlation between your efforts/hardwork and your paycheck. Our industry has been around for quite some time and it is very competitive. This is one of the reasons we find it helpful to have two pipelines, one for Programmers (Prospects currently under contract with another provider) and one for No-Programmers (Prospects without a Uniform or Facility Services provider). No-Programmers really help boost your Sales, while you are waiting out some of those contracts. We teach a highly ethical, consultative Sales Process that works when followed. We highly encourage you to always support and help, and bring real value to your Prospects and to NEVER lie to any of them.

      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.
