Pros

The benefits are one of the best features of employment at Cintas. My health insurance is second to none. The support for a balance between my professional life and personal life is outstanding, even though long hours are sometimes needed to get my work done. The people at my location are awesome to work with. Opportunity for advancement is great!

Cons

Salary partners sometimes work long, long hours. The dental insurance is nothing to write home about, but still good.

Pros

Career development and growth potential they provide a great platform for you to hone your skills. Cintas is a strong company that rewards partners based on performance and not tenure. The future is bright despite the slow economy, that will eventually turn around. Cintas is a cash company and will always be driven by its customers and its ability to make profits by exceeding customers expectations. When Cintas took over our company we saw a dramatic improvement and structure that helped all the partners excel beyond what they thought was possible I could not be happier about my choice to work for Cintas.

Cons

The amount of hours you will put in. If you are a non stop go getter you will never take time off unless you are made to by management.

Pros

Strong company, benefits are unbelievable. 4 day work weeks. The amount of various services we provide is dazzling and impressive, and all the partners (co-workers) I've personally met are friendly and supportive. Cintas will promote from within but The Management trainee program, however, used for a lot of jobs including health and safety directors, division heads etc, don't have much OR USUALLY ANY experience in their fields. Cintas requires a 4 year degree in anything to be a management trainee, so try to work for an inside promoted manager if you can. Employees are encouraged to run their route including scheduling with the customer and is pretty good at backing up what decisions you come up with. Cintas has a great free employee uniform program providing even work boots and jackets.

Cons

Company Motto is "We have a Spartan Approach". That deciphers to stingy at times. Sometimes things don't get repaired or replaced until it is broken and sometimes even dangerous. Often it seems that company meetings, sales meetings and safety meetings are all you do. It would be nice to get some work in between meetings, but that can be hard. National policies NEVER update. Even when common sense would dictate, some old rules and regulations are not updated. Even in very hot climates employees are not allowed to wear shorts becuase our some of our customers employees didn't used to have that option. We could actually make the shorts to Cintas specs since ALL employee apparel must be provided by Cintas to be in compliance. The same happens in the cold, and rain. You can be written up for wearing a raincoat, but CINTAS will not provide one for you. Salespeople are also driven hard and often oversell just to get the numbers up, then the Service Rep has to take the brunt of angry customers when they realize they are getting service more freqeuntly or excessively than they really need.
