Pros

Some opportunity for advancement, decent pay and laid back culture (family atmosphere).

Cons

Old school in terms of the sales and service processes and greatly needs an overhaul. Managers lack training,keen business acumen and education. The company may need to consider bringing in more M.B.A grads and experienced M. B. A managers who can be a catalyst for growth and overall company (or branch) growth. Additionally, a move toward providing current century sales and methodologies would help improve sales and reduce turnover.

Pros

The service side of Uni1st is Great. RSR's met the needs of their customers and made the best effort to maintain it.

Cons

The Production side was a complete failure- Unpaid workers; Not paying employees over time. Treating its production employees disrespectfully. Management lackadaisical response to fixing problems in the plant and support to its supervisors.

Pros

Well established company with years of consistent growth. The training program is among the best, training team is superb. Great on your resume for future employment.

Cons

The pay is not considered by market and if you are on East Coast, good luck getting by. Impossible to attract talent because of it and if you do attract them, they will leave when someone else offers them more money. Managers are grossly underpaid and are not given the freedom to excel unless it's only by using proven failed UniFirst metrics and processes.
