Pros

Nice benefits. Employees are overall nice people below manager level. Clean facilities. Emphasis on safety and the customer. Solid work hours.

Cons

Cintas is a corporate culture most will find horrible to survive in. It is not a positive working environment and management does not care for employees. They insult you even more by calling you partners. You must succumb to Cintas culture or you will be treated differently then those who do. You are overworked and too much is expected of you individually. Anything you tell HR in confidence is brought to your managers attention immediately. Overall you are treated as a thing that needs to perform your tasks perfectly otherwise you will be written up Nd eventually let go. If they hire any new drivers/SSRs it is only because they have someone in line to be fired.

Pros

The Commission is great. You can make good money in this place.

Cons

While the pay is good, the culture here is not. It is incredibly restrictive. It is very much a “Do what I want you to do, how I want you to do it, and when I want you to do it” management style. They constantly remind you of how much money you can make there which gets annoying after a while. The service team and the sales team are constantly at odds. Not just Cintas, but the industry in general is very sleazy, much like a car dealership. They screw over their smaller customers with enormous year over year price increases. I know a particular salesperson who is having a lot of success their who has no problem lying to his customers, and never answering their calls when the problems come. As long as he keeps the deals coming Cintas does not care. Corporate greed is on full display at Cintas. The Management Development program for college graduates seems like a great opportunity. If you are a young college graduate and you get the opportunity, I would recommend that.
