Pros

Cintas has good benefits and reasonable pay for the work performed. Information about new products and services are shared in bi-weekly meetings. A good job for a younger person looking to start a career. The company is well run and operates on solid ideals.

Cons

Although the vacation time is good, vacation election is based on seniority and the newer people are often left with less than desirable options. There are several paid holidays but the weeks around the holidays are normally blacked out so they can't be taken off. Trainings are often boring and unimaginative. Pay is partial commission so any negative billings affect your pay; this is especially frustrating when dealing with national accounts who pay less than the average customer to begin with.

Pros

The Commission is great. You can make good money in this place.

Cons

While the pay is good, the culture here is not. It is incredibly restrictive. It is very much a “Do what I want you to do, how I want you to do it, and when I want you to do it” management style. They constantly remind you of how much money you can make there which gets annoying after a while. The service team and the sales team are constantly at odds. Not just Cintas, but the industry in general is very sleazy, much like a car dealership. They screw over their smaller customers with enormous year over year price increases. I know a particular salesperson who is having a lot of success their who has no problem lying to his customers, and never answering their calls when the problems come. As long as he keeps the deals coming Cintas does not care. Corporate greed is on full display at Cintas. The Management Development program for college graduates seems like a great opportunity. If you are a young college graduate and you get the opportunity, I would recommend that.
