Pros

Good salary, great Job stability, room to make mistakes, great insurance.

Cons

Company is handling the pandemic horribly- everyone still working full time in office when they could easily work from home given the resources to. Current policy is that if you get Covid you must stay home and quarantine for 14 days with no pay or use up all your pto. This has encouraged many people to end up coming into work even if they have symptoms and our office has had well over 15 cases now but nothing has changed. Total lack of direction from management towards trainees and spent several hours each day sitting around doing nothing during my first few months. Feels more like a terrible internship than management program. Company is extremely outdated both in culture and technology and doesn’t seem to have any competitive advantage other than their size. For how much they claim to be “family- oriented” they really don’t seem to care much about their employees.

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.
