Pros

I have been here for 8 years as both a Sales Consultant and as a Sales Manager and I have never once dreaded having to get out of bed. UniFirst offers first class Sales Training and the potential for earnings is far above average. Not every company is perfect of course however it's a great place to learn and grow and get to the next level of your career. You are going to find good and bad about every company there is but it's what you decide to make of it. I think UniFirst is a great company and they are great to work with.

Cons

It's a big company and although they are very good at recognition, no Sales persons can ever get enough encouragement.

Pros

You never really end up working late. The in-house chef makes some great food.

Cons

Professional Development is strongly discouraged. Non sales employees are treated like cattle. Stuck in the 1950's corporate culture. Pay is low. Health Insurance is terrible. No one really takes it and it doesn't cover much. In IT you spend a lot of time working on something only to have all that work thrown out the window repeatedly. Management will often overlook employee recommendations on technology in favor of a more expensive IBM solution that meets only a quarter of the requirements. Middle and upper management is run like a frat house.
