Pros

Training was very helpful and insightful into the industry. It was very much set to a certain customer type and to the average customer base.

Cons

This is a micromanaged nightmare. You are expected to perform 2 four hour call blocks with a manager watching every phone call you make/ if you do not set 4 - 6 appointments during that time slot you must stay until that goal is met. Those 8 hours are the only times you are permitted in the office, no access to printers, support staff or samples unless you "ask" for permission. Please know you will be asked to report to work at 7am for sales.

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.
