Pros

I started working for UniFIrst as a Maintenance man. I didn't have much experience with the company or the equipment. However they gave me the opportunity to show what I had. Not many company's are willing to do that. Four and a half years later, I've been promoted twice, and I love what I do. The company is very family friendly, and takes good care of its team partners. Its a relatively fun environment.

Cons

I cant think of many reasonable cons. The weather plays a big part in your day. Really cold winters and really hot summers. If you don't have a strong stomach, Production is probably not for you!

Pros

Employees are hard workers The company likes to promote within.

Cons

Very long hours and low pay. You are expected to work up to 60 hours weekly and a few weekends a month, and with the salary they offer its not worth it. They do like to hire within the company but if its for management you will likely have to relocate to another location out of your current state. Also it gets extremely hot in the production plant during summer months

Thank you for your review and years of service. Promoting from within is a process we believe in. Many of our current Managers and Leaders have been promoted into their current roles from entry level positions. Sometimes longer hours are required to complete all tasks so that our customers can remain satisfied. Weekend shifts are a rare occurrence. We understand our plants can get quite warm in the summer, and that is why we offer cool beverages, fans, and shorts to our Team Partners who work in Production. The health and well-being of our Team Partners is paramount. We take heat and heat related injury very seriously at UniFirst. Because of this, our employees are trained each year on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stress, so that it can be avoided. At UniFirst, we also offer an annual salary increase based on merit, annual profit sharing contribution, and 401k match, to name just a few of our benefits. We also provide bonuses for management personnel based on performance.
