Pros

Pay is mid scale, vehicle is furnished in some cases, nice with high gas prices. Great retirement plan--but you will not be here to collect on it. Long hours don't bother me if the pay is commensurate--it was not.

Cons

If you are over 35, keep your resume handy. You will never prove it, but they don't want middle aged or experienced folks. No support from management for sales people. If you lose an account because management doubled price, it's you fault. This place is a revolving door--they actually brag that 85% of the people working for Cintas today, will not be here next year. All communication from management is one way--"Do it", "My way or the highway". the sales people who actually talk to the customers are not allowed to have an opinion. Whatever you do, do not get sick!

Pros

Great on going training and it guides you to be a good B2B closer

Cons

Very unethical business. Cintas purposely shorten the quantity of service that customers agreed to pay on weekly business. They forced customers to sign a 5 year contract but always raise their service fees and prices during the contract term. Not only that, they seldomly replace the floor mats. Customers pay weekly service to have a fresh clean floor mats. What Cintas does, the drivers will roll the mats out of the customer's building, then they pretend to grab a fresh clean mats from their truck but only to bring in the same old and dirty mats back inside. Additionally the GM and plant managers from each distribution mandate to each truck only be filled at a maximum of 80% of the actuall inventory. Needless to say, none of the customers get a 100% of what they are paying for their weekly service. However, when customers realized that they are short with their bar towels or aprons and etc, Cintas will be more than happy to increase the quantity and charge them with more money. Can sales reps make money? Absolutely. Good reps can make somewhere between $90-$120k a year. Average rep about $70-85k a year. HOWEVER, can they sleep at night for knowing they cheated their customers on daily basis??? Another thing, the management people. They are very micromanage. They are super anal with how many dials do you make during "phone blocks". How many appointments a week do you secured. And they never satisfy at your accomplishments. It's never enough at Cintas.
