Just a Number

Pros

The pay is decent The people you work with can be great

Cons

The employees here are just numbers. The only thing that matters is the bottom line. They state beliefs like family values and then treat everyone as "resources for Unifirst." If you appreciate being treated like a child in grade school, this is most certainly the place for you. If you are a normal adult who believes you should be treated as such, I hope you can swallow your pride. Either that, or look someplace else. But hey! the pay is decent.

Sales Representative

Pros

Great pay, training is second to none, and a very friendly environment. You can really come here to learn the art of selling. There's finominal leadership within this company, and that's what makes it so great. I actually felt like I was a part of a family, and not a company. It was always great getting to speak with other reps, managers, and leadership in your region.

Cons

6 months into the company, I started to feel skeptical. They make us fill out mileage forms now, and if it is not done, no mileage. The first week that was put into place the company took $155 of every reps traveling reimbursement and never returned it. I've still yet to get reimbursed for the money taken. It also takes 60+ days from installment to receive commissions which doesn't strike to well with me. It actually makes me not trust the company as much. When the first opportunity arises for me to go, sell what I want, and be where I want to be, I WILL BE GONE, AND NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS INDUSTRY.

Pros

Competitive base salary for the industry

Cons

- Not a competitive commission structure - Little to no training once you've started on the job - Training that is provided is outdated and antiquated - Unwilling to embrace technological advancement to keep up with competitors - Management has absolutely no idea how to train, motivate, or keep a staff - Highest turnover rate of any company that I have ever worked for (in the time that I was there, I watched more than 10 people come and go - most of which didn't make it 6 months) - Management tends to be reactive rather than proactive
