Pros

Pros: You meet some incredibly hard working people from hispanic backgrounds that are essentially working harder than anyone else in the company.

Cons

Cons: They act very "excited" (this is a scripted term they use at Cintas) to have you join their team. Depending on where you live, base salary can be anywhere from 45k to 50k. During the interview process they tell you about your car package that you will be receiving, your gas card, and your car insurance being paid for. However, once you're hired, you soon realize that they are also hiring in 4 other people for the exact same role that you were hired in for. Then the Sales Manager (acting like they already told you this) tells you that you all will be competing for the only territory available and that you'll have to earn the car package, credit card, and car insurance. I wouldn't recommend taking this job unless you're in desperate need of the money that they pay you to train. OH AND BY THE WAY-- this *earning your territory" consists of you driving around and selling Cintas products WITHOUT BEING PAID FOR YOUR SALES, WITHOUT BEING COMPENSATED FOR GAS, AND WITHOUT HAVING YOUR INSURANCE PAID FOR.

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.
