Pros

I sold cars for 10+ years before moving into UniFirst. Although I made great money in car sales the hours killed my personal life. I wanted a job that gave me better work life balance and still allowed me the chance to earn a 6 figure income. I'm about to finish up my 1st year with the company and I won't be making a 6 figure income, I suspect it's going end up being in the lower 70s. However thats my first year! And I got holidays, and weekends off. Being an outside sales rep gives you a ton of freedom. if you wanted to stay at home and sleep all day...you could get away with it but only for a little bit. You have to be a go getter, someone who doesn't need someone else to say "Get to work" cause if you aren't you won't make it. Also you are going see some amazing businesses, and meet some incredible people. This year because of my experience with Unifirst I was actually on the film set of a block buster movie. It was an amazing opportunity to see the behind the scenes action. Something I would have never experienced selling cars. I've never worked this less in my life, as someone who was used to 70-80 hr weeks I rarely work more then 50 hrs and the truth be told as I've gotten more efficent, developed my contacts and database I've been approach that sub 40 hour mark. My manager doesn't care, all my manager wants is green folders (sales). The training is top notch but could use some tweaking The CRM system is alright but could use some tweaking (and it is getting upgraded so if you read this review later...this may have changed

Kontras

Get in the field early with your reps, in my case I was kinda stuck without a sales manager at first. Also tweak your training. Stop focusing on being so formal CNAs don't go down like that and you know it. Also your VIP Audit pretty much falls on deaf ears with the client base everyone offers it, I very rarely get a CNA by offering a VIP. Improve the connection between service and sales. Especially after a close and before an install.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that you are happy with your move to UniFirst! It can definitely be a great change for someone who has been in an industry where nights, weekends, and holidays are spent working. And you’re right, we definitely like our work/life balance, but it means working hard even when you have a lot of freedom. You are right about the changes coming down the line with our CRM. We are definitely getting excited. ;) It’s pretty cool that you can see your efficiency improving. Your advice to new Salespeople is very true. Selling those No-Programmers (Prospects without a Uniform or Facility Service provider) and smaller Accounts while you qualify and get into your larger opportunities is the way to go.

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.

Kontras

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.
