Pros

You can start as early as 3:00 am to finish the route sooner. Beat traffic going out to start the day and when you head home for the night.

Cons

Managment is poor. The overall system is poor. The commission setup for the postion is geared to work against you. A lot of work with no satisfaction in the end. Accounts come and go which means your take-home fluctuates. The base pay is $850 which is NOTHING for the amount of work and responsibilities the driver has to take on. It’s all busy work and the pay does not match.

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.
