UniFirst reviews

I sold cars for 10+ years before moving into UniFirst. Although I made great money in car sales the hours killed my personal life. I wanted a job that gave me better work life balance and still allowed me the chance to earn a 6 figure income. I'm about to finish up my 1st year with the company and I won't be making a 6 figure income, I suspect it's going end up being in the lower 70s. However thats my first year! And I got holidays, and weekends off. Being an outside sales rep gives you a ton of freedom. if you wanted to stay at home and sleep all day...you could get away with it but only for a little bit. You have to be a go getter, someone who doesn't need someone else to say "Get to work" cause if you aren't you won't make it. Also you are going see some amazing businesses, and meet some incredible people. This year because of my experience with Unifirst I was actually on the film set of a block buster movie. It was an amazing opportunity to see the behind the scenes action. Something I would have never experienced selling cars. I've never worked this less in my life, as someone who was used to 70-80 hr weeks I rarely work more then 50 hrs and the truth be told as I've gotten more efficent, developed my contacts and database I've been approach that sub 40 hour mark. My manager doesn't care, all my manager wants is green folders (sales). The training is top notch but could use some tweaking The CRM system is alright but could use some tweaking (and it is getting upgraded so if you read this review later...this may have changed

The company has a strong family values. The location in Fort Wayne and what I saw around the company was a commitment to maintaining the small company feel. I always felt welcomed and never felt under supported. The pay is entry level but commissions are good and benefits are some of the best out there.
