Pros

I was with UniFirst for over 5 years before I let a recruiter and the chance for more money change my career path. When I left, I thought money would make things so much easier for my family and me. I did have the support of my family and UniFirst Management. However, they told me not to leave, because of my love and passion for UniFirst. At times, I am stubborn, which led me to leave UniFirst and take the next step in my career. However, the first week on the new job I discovered very quickly how much I missed UniFirst. I missed the people, management, support, atmosphere, company, what I sold for a living, and the entire job itself. At UniFirst I have never felt like a number but ALWAYS like a person who is respected. The extra money did make my life easier, but deep down I was miserable. I was very blessed to be able to work my way back into the company and UniFirst welcomed me with open arms. UniFirst has been great to me and my family. I am proud to call UniFirst Corporation my home.

Cons

Only hard work and dedication will make you successful. This is not a job where you can work part time and have full time success. If you are driven, competitive, and have a great attitude, then UniFirst is a place you can succeed.

Although starting at UniFirst you, will have to devote a lot of your time learning product and the sales process, it realy molds you for a succussful future. There is amazing opportunity to advancement as they continue to grow.

Long hours and quotas to meet. If you can't handle high pressure, results driven position, probably not a good fit, although very rewardiing
