Pros

Base pay is decent. Benefits package average. Emphasis on their "process" versus closing the sale. Training has nothing to do with what you need to know when you hit the field. Horrible training on how their service works. You have to teach yourself on the fly.

Cons

EmExtreme micromanagement of every second of every day. Literally. It wears on you. Selling is the best, but the weekly grilling, the administrative work and the constant phonecalls from sales managers during the day when you are out working is unbearable! Very high turnover! This company needs to have a corporate meeting to determine why Sales Reps don't stay. People leave because of your management style. Back off.

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.
