      Pros

      I have worked at Unifirst for 10 years. I have held all service positions - management and route sales. Unifirst provides opportunity for advancement and they like to fill positions from within. They offer great benefits, retirement, profit sharing, PTO, etc. Management genuinely cares and values the employees. As a longtime employee, I can say with certainty that this location is run with high standards, strong morals and vaules. As far as the other review stating drug sales, poor work conditions, outdated equipment, etc that is false. The building is brand new and state of the art. The trucks are evaluated and the fleet is updated annually. I have never witnessed a drug deal and the people I work with are not corrupt. The majority of us are married with children. I would recommend Unifirst if you are hardworking, self motivated and customer service oriented.

      Cons

      Early mornings, some long days and fluctuations in commission.

      Thank you for your feedback and your years of service. You are right, we promote from within whenever possible. In fact, the vast majority of our executive leaders have worked their way up from entry-level positions in the company. We appreciate your words defending Austin’s good name. : )

      Pros

      UniFirst is a large corporation yet has the roots of a family run business. There is always opportunity to move up in within the company and because it is North America wide, it can take you to new cities if desired. Rigorous training upon hire sets any sales person up for success within the company, and helps build desired assets from other companies. The base pay is great and the commission (which is over and above) can be lucrative. The company also offers full benefits! If you work hard, you are able to earn a company paid tropical vacation, and throughout the year you can be selected to attend all expense paid work seminars within the company's head quarters. The work environment is a positive one and the president of the company is very involved and truly cares about his employees. We are able to work independently because the company puts in the trust and confidence in their employees to get the job done.

      Cons

      The administration work really slows down the progress of sales. This specific position is not for everyone, it can be challenging and competitive. A lot of work days you are "on your own", which means you don't really work with your team on a day to day basis. The route sales reps can sometimes be overloaded.
