Pros

Decent benefits (HSA, 401k, Medical, etc) Decent perks through company partnerships (Costco, Car Dealerships, etc) Typically Monday-Friday Some Holidays off

Cons

Noticeable favoritism towards Spanish speaking employees from Senior Production Management. Constant short staffing between multiple departments. Long, unpredictable hours. Managers are expected to be on site 50-60 hours per week.

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.
