      The worst experience

      Outside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is a family owned business but that family feeling gets lost in Miami, FL

      Cons

      The management is a dictorship they talk down to you, they don't lift you up especially if you're in Sales it's suppose to be exciting they Micromanage you. You spend more time in the office than on the field how are you suppose to sell if you're indoors and you're a outside sales Rep the worst culture I've ever experienced never again will I go back even if I had no job I prefer to go work at a Taco Bell.

      Outside Sales Rep

      Outside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, the pay was decent for entry level, some good people, provided lunch every now and then. Phone reimbursement.

      Cons

      The Chattanooga area was not conducive to sales because of past managers and reps dishonesty and poor service. No one wanted service from UniFirst because of its reprehensible reputation around the area. Job security is always on your mind every week. Even if you do sell an account, most of the time the customer will try to break contract because of horrible service, then that affects your commission check. It is extremely difficult to sell a service that you don't believe in and that you know will actually cause the customer more problems than solutions. Also you are selling in a super saturated market with contractual sales, so most prospects can't even buy from you even if they wanted to. Depreciates your vehicle due to at least 500 miles per week. No reimbursement for almost monthly oil changes.

      Absolutely Not

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent base pay, 5 day work week

      Cons

      Micro Management to the extreme, job threatened on a weekly basis and that goes for every sales rep, outdated CRM software doesn't work most of the time, unprofessional office environment, empty promises
