Pros

The insurance package was decent.

Cons

If you like working unreasonable long hours (weekends included) with no regard to your work life balance then this is the job for you. Anticipate being lied to and back stabbed in a regular basis from peers and leadership. Goals will change frequently and be made almost impossible to achieve. Commission percentages continue to lower while leadership spews pricing fairness and you are worth it. Having said that customers are given pricing that is well below market value. You will never make a decent bonus with this company anymore. Fred and deception has become the new norm. You are only a number at Cintas. Striving to hit KPIS that are created using six sigma data instead of actually understanding the business has led to the demise of Cintas. Ask yourself “why are there so many job openings at Cintas.”

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.
