Pros

Good company to start off with Good sales process for beginners in B2B, they teach the basics Good work/life balance Respected by other sales organizations enough to at least get your foot in the door if you've worked at UniFirst for at least 1-2 years. (I am very grateful to have had this experience on my resume).

Cons

The customer service can vary greatly by location An extremely flawed industry as a whole, filled with terrible service, dishonest billing practices, and empty promises. UniFirst is no better (sometimes far worse) than any of the competition when it comes to the above, but it is your job to sell the fact that they are. Pay isn't great, but it's basically an industry-wide trend. The profit margin is not large due to competitive nature of pricing combined with the high and ever-increasing cost to actually service accounts.

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.
