NOT GOOD!!!!

Pros

Time away from countless training sessions on mops, disinfectants, garbage bags, the weaving of specific clothing garments & a litany of the most BORING information possible!

Cons

1) Contract based - Even if you have a client looking to utilize your services, they're most likely already under contract with a competitor. Meaning, you'll have to wait 3 - 5 yrs to "possibly" get their business & even then, you have to wait an additional 3 months for your commission, which is also a 1 time payment with NO residual income, even if the client adds to their invoice. 2) Regardless if actual need, companies do NOT care about uniforms or cleaning products enough to take you seriously & majority of companies either look at you the same way they do with your competitors or are content with the issues they have with their current provider. Simply put.........."The devil I know, is better than the devil I don't". Regardless of the garment rental industry being massive, it's HORRIBLE as a sales consultant. Also keep in mind the relentless abundance of micromanagement.!!
