Cintas reviews

The culture at Cintas was very robotic. It was very odd especially for the industry and customer base. We were forced to wear a suit and tie for everything. Wearing clothes like that at lumber mills and manufacturing facilities was just weird. I would dress the “right” way for the office days and then change clothes before facing customers. We couldn’t have beards which wasn’t told to me until after I had been there a few weeks. The benefits were really terrible and designed to make you feel stuck. 401K program was a joke and I was lied to about it. I was told is was a 20% match which is unheard of it. I question it but was told that’s correct. Completely false. It’s 20% of the total you put in. So you have to put in 10% and they match 20% of your 10%. There’s no match for over 1 1/2 and then it’s pennies compared to basically any other major company. The vesting period is 5 years so the match doesn’t matter anything. The on boarding is the worse I’ve ever experienced in 15 years of sales and management. You don’t even go to “training/RBS” until after 6 months or so. Cintas doesn’t even invest in their people until they have already passed the trial by fire due to very high turnover of salespeople.

High pressure sales tactics. Most management out for there own bonuses. Always feel like I have to protect customers from the company. Sales reps will pull sketchy stuff and leave you to clean up the mess.
