Pros

Management is completely flexible with time off. Management does seem to be sincerely interested in your success. Close knit environment, great opportunity to network, meet friends, etc.

Cons

Many people in management seem to lack the basic qualifications for their position and subsequently come across as being in over their head. Sales structure is such that you are often competing with Cintas coworkers to get the sale - i.e., I may offer the customer one price and then a Cintas driver or local sales guy may come in and undercut me. Antiquated systems - much of the sales CMS and admin functions are driven by a series of Excel spreadsheets. Compensation and benefits (401k match!) are very poor. If you're not management, you are on a need-to-know basis and you are treated as such.

Pros

Company used to be a great place to start a sales career. Good training, opportunities and room for growth. Be ready to work hard, be micro managed and get crushed on the phones or during your cold calls. If you can make it through the first year and then make a PC you'll be in a great spot to have a great looking resume. Some decent partners on the operations/service side.

Cons

Sr. Sales Director and his other 2 directors are negatively impacting the region. Lost several experienced sales reps and some good sales managers recently. They are reducing several locations from 2 sales managers down to 1 (no more promotion opportunities). Others have left because the culture has changed so much in the last 6 months. Sr. Sales Director is all about the hustle and hitting activity numbers, has no people skills (probably why so many people have left in the last 3 months) and he lacks executive leadership skills. Tough to build a good sales culture when you can't relate to your front-line reps.
