Pros

You never really end up working late. The in-house chef makes some great food.

Cons

Professional Development is strongly discouraged. Non sales employees are treated like cattle. Stuck in the 1950's corporate culture. Pay is low. Health Insurance is terrible. No one really takes it and it doesn't cover much. In IT you spend a lot of time working on something only to have all that work thrown out the window repeatedly. Management will often overlook employee recommendations on technology in favor of a more expensive IBM solution that meets only a quarter of the requirements. Middle and upper management is run like a frat house.

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.
