Pros

I was employed and my children had health insurance

Cons

I was, by admission of my direct manager who was the GM of the location, underpaid from the beginning, but after he knew I heard him say this to multiple other managers, still refused to give me a market rate raise… I was attacked randomly in the parking lot and they refused to offer me any type of protection coming into the building from my car stating that that would imply “preferential treatment”… I was sexually harassed and it was repeatedly swept under the rug, and I watched as multiple people quit because of this same person until I couldn’t afford to look for another job for any length of time and refused to be ignored after the others were yet again… I was made to suffer at the hands of an alcoholic boss, all while they took all of the credit for my work

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.
