      Extreme Daily Micromanagement

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Base pay is decent. Benefits package average. Emphasis on their "process" versus closing the sale. Training has nothing to do with what you need to know when you hit the field. Horrible training on how their service works. You have to teach yourself on the fly.

      Cons

      EmExtreme micromanagement of every second of every day. Literally. It wears on you. Selling is the best, but the weekly grilling, the administrative work and the constant phonecalls from sales managers during the day when you are out working is unbearable! Very high turnover! This company needs to have a corporate meeting to determine why Sales Reps don't stay. People leave because of your management style. Back off.

      Pros

      Unifirst is an amazing company. I have been here for almost 9 years and still love coming to work every day! The culture is great and there is a lot of opportunities for promotions and financial growth. It is like a big family. Upper management is great and you have lots of people in your corner that want to see you succeed and help you out!

      I'm a route sales representative also known as delivery driver and service.

      Route sales representative

      Pros

      Number one thing about being a delivery driver is your boss is not sitting in the truck with you breathing down your shoulder and during the summer you get to enjoy the nice weather.

      Cons

      Challenges include not getting your proper product for your route, which then the managers seem to think you should have to run a special for. If you have old trucks then we'll like mine it breaks down all the time. You put in long hours anywhere from 55-60 hours a week and the pay for that amount of time is not good..
