Pros

You make your own schedule during the week, meet fun, new customers, and the other sales reps make the job tolerable in the office. The commission earning potential is real.

Cons

The management is poor, employees are constantly quitting, the technology is lacking, the benefits are mediocre, the commission and other PTO can't be explained the same way twice, and although the service is getting better, every installation has issues since everything is such a manual process.

Pros

Upper management genuinely cares about their team, and the hiring process is simple and straightforward. Base pay and the monthly stipend are both fair, and I appreciate the company's structure — questions get answered quickly, and you have dedicated team member support. I also like that the role is self-managing, with CDR handling pricing and deal structuring so you can focus on your own performance. Overall, this company really takes care of its employees.

Cons

The pay structure for this role is a bit unique — after a sale closes, the CDR earns commission for the first few months, and then commission transitions over to the drive team. It's certainly not a deal-breaker, just an observation, and I'm not knocking the company for it. All in all, I had a wonderful experience at UniFirst.
