Vantaggi

Decent pay for a somewhat simple job. Other than the pay the job doesn't have many benefits, outside sales might as well be inside sales because you're not allowed to leave the office for much.

Svantaggi

Completely tapped market, waiting for companies to get out of 5 year contracts and beating competitor prices by pennies, nothing great. NO freedom, never seen an outside sales job where you have to waste your day in the office making cold calls. Managers never have time to help employees because they're to busy with emails from corporate.

Thank you for your review. We know that it can be challenging when you have a lot of competitors Selling in your territory, which is why we teach our Sales Processes the way we do. Regarding contractual obligations, we are very clear in all our training that we never condone or suggest any possibility of anyone ever breaching a service agreement. Like our competitors, we meet with as many Prospects as possible every week, some current industry customers and some not, to forge new relationships with as many as possible and we definitely do not condone lowball Sales tactics. We focus on Total Cost of Ownership or annual spend, which usually ends up being MORE affordable with UniFirst due to all of the excessive ancillary charges that occur with many of our competitors. We train our employees to be transparent about these ancillary charges to further set ourselves apart from our competition. And frankly, we agree with you. The majority of your time SHOULD be spent out in the field meeting with Prospects. However, the telephone is your most valuable tool in setting a large quantity of Appointments and if you don’t have enough Appointments on the books, a Manager may have you stick around to make more dials to make the best use of your time.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
