UniFirst reviews

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lost commission for Sales Rep., Avg sales rep only lasted months in the Houston office, constant turnover.Training is outdated and tedious, do not use SalesForce or another type of Sales Platform, reimbursements take too long to pay back, company does not give reps tools to be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!!

Dynamics was a huge mistake, no one likes it. The new tablet is trash as well. Upper management puts so much stress on the zero week that the sales reps lose focus of getting the larger accounts and then management complains about them only selling small deals. My second manager was terrible. Didn't have the tools to motivate us or make us want to be there. I went from loving going into the office to dreading it. They prefer you don't take anymore than one week vacation at a time otherwise they'll find a reason not to pay you. If you have to convince your reps to drink the Kool Aid, it's probably not that great of a place.
