Extensive four step interview process. Phone interview, then with sales manager, then with GM, then Power Point presentation. Study the company, behavioral based questions, and other interview questions and why you would be a candidate for outside sales. The total process took over a month from the phone interview to getting hired. The reason being is that the sales manager works extremely long hours helping his current sales reps which is a good because if you are hired as a sales rep, he will be your boss. So yes the interview process takes awhile but the company is rewarding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What threw me for a loop was the fact that I had to give a presentation with the sales manager and regional sales manager as part of the interview process. When they first explained it I thought they were joking. But they were not, LOL. Consists of seeking 8-12 businesses who RENT uniforms and documenting their uniform situation and presenting. However, it is a great way to see if you actually want to do the job and if you are a fit for the company. I enjoyed the process and they are definitely the best uniform company when it comes to service in the industry.
Very straight forward and transparent. The process was very convenient. Although, there was not much negotiation for what you could receive compensation wise. They are stuck with what they can offer for a Sales Representative.
I applied online. I interviewed at UniFirst in Aug 2024
Interview
Very relaxed atmosphere hiring manager was easy to talk to she was straight forward with job description explained in detail what the job would be hours and rate of pay did not touch how commission worked in detail or benefits ( health vision dental )

Application
I interviewed at UniFirst (Jackson, MI)
Interview
Setup interview for about a week out. Got several confirmation emails and texts. On the day and time of, received a call from the recruiter only to tell me "Well we have several other applicants on the line so I'm not going to interview you until they decide tomorrow. I'll let you know sometime tomorrow." EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL WAY TO HANDLE APPLICANTS. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. WON'T BE MOVING FORWARD.
