Pros

There is really not much positive I can share. They’re being bought by Cintas, the main competitor but nobody knows what is happening with the details or at least they aren’t being transparent about it if they do know.

Cons

Certification- verbatim script Car insurance- must list as business use which has a big impact on your cost of insurance nobody told me until after I accepted the job.Benefits are expensive to get the decent coverage option. No hands on training, just go get em mentality. And don’t get sick in the first 90 days or you’ll be terminated. Even with a doctors note.

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.
