Pros

You will get good experience in business to business sales. There training is self study but taken seriously will help develop a good foundation for a career in sales. It's better than being unemployed

Cons

Lowest pay in the industry. To small of areas to keep the $110 dollar weekly average. Long sales cycles dealing with 60 month contracts. After one year ridiculous sales expectations are put on you and then you will be let go.

Pros

Good benefits and 401k. Power route bonus's were decent.

Cons

60+ hours a week and salaried for $600 a week. Didn't get paid quarterly bonus's like we were suppose to. Upper management does NOT care about the route drivers, even though we are the "face" and "backbone" of the company. We would get told we're working to many hours, then have more work and more stops added to our route. Hard work and dedication are not rewarded at this location, or by this GM.

Pros

Paid weekly, If you have no other job opportunities this is a good start to entering the sales industry

Cons

Too many Chiefs not enough Indians, only 6% market share in Houston going against Cintas, G&K, Aramark, Service is the Worse I have ever been around in Houston mkt, Office environment is energy draining, Corporate uses made up Excel spreadsheets by employees and then distributes throughout regions, Service is not held accountable for lost sales which is lost commission for Sales Rep., Avg sales rep only lasted months in the Houston office, constant turnover.Training is outdated and tedious, do not use SalesForce or another type of Sales Platform, reimbursements take too long to pay back, company does not give reps tools to be successful (waited 3 months for a stapler, had to get approval). The Houston Region has only captured 6% of the market share for the last 10 years how is the GM still working at UniFirst? Ron Croatti potrays himself as a strong Catholic but makes all Sales regions work Good Friday.....time to step down Mr. Croatti!!!! Last but not least, I am still waiting for commissions that were promised to me by the Branch Manager after 12 weeks of leaving the company, this is ridiculous and very unprofessional!!
