Pros

Outstanding technicians. Good amount of autonomy for day-to-day work. You make your own schedule for the most part. I really enjoyed interacting with customers and seeing some very interesting places & businesses.

Cons

The main issue with Cintas is that they hire their managers straight from college or other industries as managers, not from their technicians. As such, their service managers have little to no industry knowledge. In other words, they don't hire managers from the technician ranks unless you have a college degree. These managers have little to no idea what they're talking about compared to the technicians who actually complete the tasks and understand exactly how long certain tasks take and what is required. Additionally, I have found that many managers have little to no integrity. They'll say & do whatever they need to in order to meet their sales/service quotas, please their supervisors, and advance their careers. It is very demoralizing to the technicians who actually care about the fire protection industry & customer service.

Pros

I learned a great deal about how much I could handle. The company is always growing so its a pretty stable job.

Cons

Corporate to a fault. Micro Managed but with no help. Everyone is around is telling you need to do more but no one can be bothered if you have a problem. The amount of work is no where near comparable to the low rate of pay.

Pros

Good benefits and car package for managers.

Cons

They work you like a dog for lower range salary. In my location at least 50 but usually 60 hours a week. Poor morale.
