Pros

Lots of experience in lots of areas. Most people are really nice. You are the golden child as an MT, they put a lot into you so they will do their best to keep you. Going through the MT program sets you up to be very marketable even outside of Cintas after you’re done! So if you take the job, just at least make it through the program before leaving.

Cons

The best way to be promoted is to bit your numbers, drink allllll the corporate kool aid and kiss peoples butts. It doesn’t matter if you are known for being rude and self centered. As long as you hit your goals for a long enough time and tell enough higher ups you want to get promoted, you will. This is why there are a lot of bad managers. Favoritism is a thing - due to COVID they had cuts. Cintas let their true colors out by firing certain people. Those that had friends coming into the job stayed over people just as good. And people who made higher bases due to being brought over from an acquisition got fired even though their counterpart hadn’t been hitting goals for months.

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.
