Pros

Outside sales position so you're not in the office every single day. Majority of the co workers and office setting is pretty great. Decent but not amazing pay and a decent commission structure. Great on your resume to move forward with your career.

Cons

You need a great branch and sales manager for a location to succeed. Can't just have one. Current sales manager is a great seller but isnt a great teacher, not organized, has high expectations without really showing you how to reach your goals. At this company you are considered a njmber and your clock starts ticking immediately. No time to build a real database, they expect you to sell right out the gate although it takes time to make a sale. Sometimes you can close a deal on the spot but not often. They preach this is an entry level position but act as if they pay you 6 figures and have those expectations of you.

Thank you for your feedback. We strongly believe in helping our Team Partners to grow and it always saddens us whenever any UniFirst Team Partners feels that their experience in our organization is a negative one. Perhaps you can utilize our Open Door Policy and have an open conversation with your Location Management about your concerns.
