No cons I can think of.

Pros

Cool co-workers, got free food every now and then.

Cons

This company is a disaster. No loyalty to employees , screw over customers constantly, don’t do things right hardly ever. What bothered me the most is how much people hate working here, it says so much about your company if you have a bad culture and Unifirst without question had a horrible culture. Managers don’t hold drivers account for stinking at their jobs AKA not taking customers the right stuff or not taking them enough. The Austin plant is a cluster ball of confusion as there is not a trace of structure out there. The sales team cycles through boatloads of sales reps because they fire you if you don’t sell a dying business model (renting clothes) in your first 90 days because it makes more sense to hire and completely train a new rep vs keeping one you already have......... the style of business is hilariously outdated. Orders are turned in on paper through a folder... that should tell you why Cintas is DOMINATING Unifirst. This company is in need of a massive corporate restructuring or they will not stay afloat and be bought in the next big merger as Cintas and Aramark continue to get bigger and better.
