Pros

Unifirst has a great product and great benefits. There seem to be plenty of opportunity for advancement within the company.

Cons

The senior management at Unifirst is stuck in 1983. They believe the road to success is cold calling 20-30 people a day without any direction or purpose. Unifirst is not as concerned about their salepeople being successful. They are concerned about you being successful using their outdated model of selling. You spend six weeks in a training program learning word tracts and scripts and learn very little about the product or why it is better than the competitors.

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.
