Pros

Could not ask for better support from my managment team. Great base pay, and a very generous commission and bonus plan.

Kontras

Been with the company for three years and still haven't found a con yet!

Pros

They have a laid back culture with low pressure. My team was full of very intelligent, effective, and fun people who were a pleasure to work with. They have decent benefits.

Kontras

Business units do not communicate well. Submitting IT tickets is a cryptic, complex, frustrating process that is not well explained. Culture is laid back but so much so that it seems no one cares whether things get done or positive change takes place. Company is stuck using outdated methods. Business promised to make changes but did not follow through. Worked on too many projects at the same time. Switching constantly...

Make sure that meetings provide value to everyone in the room. Set expectations beforehand. Create an agenda and stick to it. If any topics come up during the meeting, write them down and discuss later with the right people in the room. Don't be afraid to embrace change.

Pros

Family culture and great people

Kontras

None . There really are none

Promote from within first

Pros

Not being in an office all day.

Kontras

Tough, physical work. Dealing with some customers. Not too bad.

Pros

Training was exceptional and worth the time.

Kontras

Commission payout is terrible, way to long between the Sale and commissions paid.

Pros

Alot of companies use UniFirst as a hiring pool. I would put your time in to get the experience then jump ship after a year. Very flexible as long as you do what you need to do. What you put in you will get out, just like any other sales job.

Sales Mgr. is beyond awful. Suppose to conduct ride along days with reps & never does along with a laundry list of things. Instead sends nasty grams on why you aren't selling when he did nothing to contribute. When this was brought to the attention of upper management, nothing was done about it. There is definitley "the ole boys club" mentality here at this location. Also, not friendly to mothers leaving for maternity....

Just because you can "sell" it does not make you a good leader/manager. I learned alot from this company, especailly how to NOT treat employees.

Pros

Great base salary and great commission schedule

Kontras

Company spends more time training on the basics than training on product knowledge.

Work on your vehicle allowance for sales people. Management gets the perks while your sales people use their vehicles generating your income

Pros

If you work hard and take advantage of the training, you could do well. The bonus compensation structure and health benefits are generous. The management are helpful and supportive and will help another location or department without hesitation. Company culture is really about team work and family. It is demonstrated everyday.

Kontras

The sales cycle can be very long. One must have patience and professional persistence. Sometimes there is later workdays or early mornings. Somedays there is a lot of windshield time.

Offer sales training for B and C size accounts rather than focusing on large opportunities and NP's. The training should not contradict the guidance to not chase only elephants.
