Pros

Work here if you are a guy.

Cons

I worked as an Apparel Designer in their National Account Sales Division in Chicago. The department is full of ignorant people who really believe what they are doing is fashion forward. Unless you are the top 3 people they treat you like dirt and pin you against your co-workers. They are very shady. Also, If you are a girl forget about advancing to the top! All of upper management are cocky men. The corporate culture is more like brainwashing they call it "drinking the Kool-Aid" and are proud of it. Ladies you have to wear hose in the summer months just so you don't show legs. Lastly, the office is out by midway (please don't get shot!).

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.
