Pros

-Sales training nationally -Brand strength nationally -Operations/inner-plant side of the business is great, fantastic employees

Cons

-Leadership locally and regionally was absent (literally) -Pay is about 50% to market for similar roles in the same area -Quotas for the individual contributors are not an actual quota like all other sales organizations. The goals for the contributors are a fraction of quota which negates the purpose of having said quota.

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.
