Pros

Opportunities for advancement and growth one you prove yourself. Great healthcare benefits. It seems like they really take care of their own and if you are on the "in" then you are good.

Cons

We are in a low paying industry in general. Sometimes words we use like "spartan" and "frugal" can be regarded as "cheap". It also seems like some are pigeon - holed into their specific areas or fields.

Pros

If you want to benchmark against the worst treatment possible this is the place to go. While working a booth at a job fair, after I left Cintas I spoke with a fellow recruiter who also had worked for Cintas. One thing to remember especially military members because Cintas aggressively recruits former NCOs and junior officers is if you paid any attention to ethics training or showed any concern for your troops this is not the place for you. Become a prison guard for the state of California, you will be paid better and the convicts will respect you more than Cintas management will.

Cons

Petty treatment, moronic work rules, martinets in management and stinginess beyond compare. In addition, if you seek any intelligent conversation beyond last night's ball game you are out of luck. At a company function an executive was asked, "Why does not Cintas provide tuition assistance"? The answer given was if we paid college tuition how could we say no to someone who wanted to study horticulture compared to someone who wanted to study business. Easy, Cintas has more rules that any firm I have ever worked for. Create a rule that says we only pay college tuition for majors that relate to our business, i.e. industrial engineering, accounting, HR whatever. Instead, Cintas chose to treat the people in the room as if we all had lobotomies. I got away from Cintas as soon as something better came along.

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.
