Pros

The base salary and car package are decent. All your fuel is paid for if you get a fuel efficient car. You will definitely learn how to sell here at Cintas, and that can help you find an enjoyable career later...but be prepared to pay the price.

Cons

Nothing matters but your "numbers". All the managers are brainwashed with Cintas culture jargon, and they don't really make any real decisions or do anything to help the sales process. The micro-managing is out of control. Employees are treated like grade school children. It is an ok place to get some sales experience, but be prepared to "drink the kool-aid". Turnover in this market has been through the roof lately!

Pros

Benefits Pay based on performance Performance leads to opportunites

Cons

The higher you move up in the company, the more it is about who you know. The company is going away from takng care of their people. More focused on numbers, policies, procedures, etc. They do a poor job of rolling out the changes within the organization. The people involved in making the decisions for things to changes are in the corporate office and do not really understand what really happens at the local facilities. Pay plans changes yearly. They are rolled out a quarter into the year. They are late to pay you the money you have earned.

Pros

Cintas is a very competitive environment; if you put in the work (not in hours terms) and execute, you will be recognized. They love to promote from within the company and the culture is something that is reiterated every day. The compensation structure is mostly bonus based, and people in the Sales Department are usually the highest paid. A great place to enter the workforce; they will teach you a lot and are always looking to promote people. Do your job and exceed expectations and nothing but good things will happen.

Cons

Cintas is a very "GE like" Company - it can easily become an individuals battle and teamwork is sometimes hard to come by. More of the what-did-you-do-for-me mentality. Frustration leads to arguments etc etc. It is very easy to be shady in this company. There are a lot of people who can definitely learn something from Adam Sandlers Business Ethics debate. If you want to get ahead yourself and screw over your co-workers AND the customer, it is very easy. Beware of the drama, because if you let it then it will absolutely consume you.
