Pros

Good pay and good car package. If you need sales experience, it is a good start.

Cons

Everything from management is negative. Everything is about your numbers, with very little praise. Hours expected are ridiculous. Management is unrealistic. "Phone blocks" have absurd rules. Not enjoyable. Turnover is absurdly high.

Pros

Monday to Friday schedule is good working with some really good people at location. Autonomy.

Cons

Every year you're pay changes and most of the time it benefits Cintas. You start making a good wages by doing your job and they swoop in the next year adjust pay. Give you raises then take away or lowers commission so we're basically back where we started. Sets goals that are unachievable which affects any raises or bonuses that you get for the year. It feels like management does everything they can to control how much money you have the ability to make no matter how much time you invest or how hard you work.

Pros

Benefits are great, 4 day workweek, decent salary.

Cons

Very heavy days with minimal support. This is a very supply chain reliant business and with todays issues there will be a lot of shortages and angry customers that you get to deal with at no fault of your own, and yes it will likely affect your bonus… Sales are constantly overselling accounts, and within a month the account will quit the un-needed product off and it’ll count against your bonus. Whenever you need to maintenance accounts administratively, you have to fill out paper forms and management almost always ignores them. Ultimately I wound up leaving because there is just no career advancement here. Sure they’ll tell you about all of the other departments cintas has to make you think that this company has a role for everyone, but in reality most of the jobs all pay the same (mid 50s) and I’ve had fantastic supervisors that have been stuck in there positions trying to move up for the better part of 10 years. If you have any ambitions, I don’t recommend Cintas.
