Cintas Management Development Program Trainee reviews

A lot of bureaucracy, horrible work life balance, extreme micro-management, sales quotas are national not specified to each market so there are markets better than others by default, and upper management plays favorites for growth opportunities for those that fit their profile. Most upper managers brag about those employees that were former athletes seems as if you were joining a frat very old school blue collar way of management thinking where the tall athletic man or woman get preference for opportunities.

-Definition of drink the koolaid -Super cheesy office atmosphere -They tell you that you won't work more than 50 hours but once you're in they'll work you to 60-70 hours regularly with no overtime compensation. 80% of the work you do is mindless and involves physical labor. They have no concerns for when you start getting muscle pulls. -If you don't kiss the butt of the GM they will start micromanaging you and get in your head to the point where you're constantly paranoid that you are doing something wrong. -HR comes across as someone to help, but ends up taking everything you say and becoming a tattle-tail (to a point where it becomes childish). -Tiny mistakes equal discipline sessions where they make you feel like you're screwing everything up when the reality is that it's not a big deal (even after a 12 hour day of hard work). -THE LARGEST CON: You can see it in the long term employee's eyes that they've sold their souls. They all walk around smiling saying that they love their jobs. But when you get one-on-one with them all they do is talk about how they wish they could've had a better life. -Tell all their employees "this is the best job ever" when in reality they could make a lot more with the effort they put in somewhere else
