Pros

It's another great company to have on your resume, they have great notariaty and are a good work ethic standard! The Blue collar Guys and Gals delivering the uniforms mats and towels are a great group of people!

Cons

Upper level Management was devious and manipulative, Location philosophy was "Take care of Cintas now and they will take care of you in the future" . I moved up the ladder from a Sales Service Rep. to a Sales Trainer. so I bought into the philosophy for a little while untill I saw what really was happing at the location behind close doors. The desire to have Family Men and Women work at the location wasn't for the atmosphere as much as it was for entrapment. They bring new meaning to getting blood from a stone. I was put in harms way a number of times while picking up and delivering materials to clients due to the lack of communication and ethics of sales manangement. 5am Meetings 3 days a week and your expected to stay till the last bell tolls. I saw my Wife and kids less than any other job I had, and say good by social life!

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.
