Pros

Worked with a good group of people at the Rossville, GA location.

Cons

CSR's at UniFirst have A LOT of responsibilities. The pay was low, we had lack of training, and a lack of management. I didn't get a 90 day review or raise like I was told during my interview. Management is not very supportive of employees having personal needs, time off, etc. And unwilling to let you make up time.

Pros

You make your own schedule during the week, meet fun, new customers, and the other sales reps make the job tolerable in the office. The commission earning potential is real.

Cons

The management is poor, employees are constantly quitting, the technology is lacking, the benefits are mediocre, the commission and other PTO can't be explained the same way twice, and although the service is getting better, every installation has issues since everything is such a manual process.

Pros

Training was very helpful and insightful into the industry. It was very much set to a certain customer type and to the average customer base.

Cons

This is a micromanaged nightmare. You are expected to perform 2 four hour call blocks with a manager watching every phone call you make/ if you do not set 4 - 6 appointments during that time slot you must stay until that goal is met. Those 8 hours are the only times you are permitted in the office, no access to printers, support staff or samples unless you "ask" for permission. Please know you will be asked to report to work at 7am for sales.
