Pros
Great people. I chose this company over Cintas because of the people. They have had my back from the beginning and have worked hard to help me succeed. This was my third sales job and definitely the best support, training, products and payout. I was skeptical of the commission payout. However, my first year I made about $58k and my second year I made over $100k. Its a great place to learn how to sell and to take that into management or to another company. There are also ample opportunities for advancement especially if you are willing to move.
Cons
Its hard work. I don't know that that's a con but some people want a job were they just show up and get paid. Not going to happen here. A lot of people who are unsatisfied with UniFirst should not be in sales. The CRM tool is cumbersome. I haven't found a CRM tool that is ideal though. Most people feel that are a micromanagement tool and to an extent they are.

Pros
- Generous base salary plus uncapped commissions, vehicle allowance, cell phone allowance. The more you sell, the more you make with no restrictions. They truly want you to close deals. - Training is top notch. Their corporate training team spends a ton of time & money with employees to make sure they have the tools and knowledge to succeed. - They tend to promote from within, so room for growth is there, if you have your head on your shoulders and perform. - The company is growing and has a great reputation within the industry. Products are not a top priority of prospects, but are ones that all businesses use, so you can sell to anyone as long as you can sell it. - Work hard and you will make good $$$ and have great job security. Slack and you won't last a year! - I like my job and the company. Only unsuccessful sales reps bag on the company and job.
Cons
- Office days are twice a week, when you could be on the road closing deals. - Too much administrative work, which takes away from time contacting prospects. - Not much teamwork among departments. Some emails do not get responded to unless you CC their boss. - Some technology issues, but they are growing and trying to improving these issues. - Can be very cut throat and need to watch out who you trust to confide in.
