Pros

Good benefits Paid vacation Monthly BBQ or lunch.

Cons

Too much red tape. Not open to process suggestions for improvement. High turn over due to red tape. American company who could canadianize their Canadian locations a lot more. No consistency. A lot of he said/she said blame. Unless you're in sales, no real room for advancement.

Pros

If you can buy into this slimy corporate culture, you will get promoted quickly. Service providers are excellent

Cons

Corporate culture is horrible. Managers use it as a crutch but are not actually bought in. Treat partners with disrespect and arrogance. Senior managers protect each other from being exposed to their lack of work, incompetency and poor management skills. Large expenses for sales. They pride themselves on opportunity to make money-- but not set up for success. Overall. Just don't work here.

Pros

Good training from the beginning and ongoing. highly recruited from by better compnaies. SR Sales director is actually a very down to earth and smart individual. It is a good starting point for a new college grad or someone from service to come over and make a better life.

Cons

TURNOVER!! My team turned over 5 times in 3 years. Unrealistic sales goals! Understand there are 10+ other competitors now and Cintas is NO DIFFERENT! Matter of fact Cintas has the worst product quality around. work/life balance is terrible. They make you feel bad for taking a vacation MDR position is the biggest joke in the compnay! All they do is PAY the drivers for already completed CRF and they make more than outside reps and managers. They do not have to have the customer sign anything, so next delivery when 50 extra dollars in on the ivoice it hits the numbers., and most of the time immeditaly credited off, the MDR gets credit and paid and the driver gets hosed. The MDR role is designed to cheat the compnay and customers out of money. They are by far the worst sales people in the company. SPARTAN = CHEAP ---- Cintas puts on a show like they care for their people but they do not show it. Everyone that has a sales force does a PC! It isnt that special Phone Block = 8 hours of cucbicle work punding phones like "boiler room" ....... enough said! Sales ans Service hate each other in every location I have ever been to. The reality is that sales will do whatever they have to do to maximize the 1st invoice and screw service on every account. Service does not want new business because their pay gets degraded every year and it just takes more time and adds more stops to their already long day FEAR-- CINTAS enjoys doing corporate visits to local locations. Not because they want to help, or see things in action but to have each location put on 5 hour long power point presentations on why they all need to keep their jobs. The upper executives are the most arrogant people in the universe, starting at the CEO.
