Pros

Sales training program is elite. I still use principals taught at Cintas in my current role. The car package and gas card is nice. I worked with some really nice people.

Cons

Extreme micro management. You must constantly stay in front of your number week in and week out to the point that if you have one down week, your entire work ethic is questioned (regardless on where you are in your quarterly or yearly number). Prices are extremely high compared to competitors. Management expects everyone to drink the Kool Aid to no end. Have you ever seen a couple that you know is going through problems try to be over the top on social media about how much they love each other? That’s how Cintas feels. Everyone is forced to fake enthusiasm to the point where it is annoying. Just follow a few employees on LinkedIn and you will understand.

Pros

If you want to put in more hours there is almost always extra money to be made to by picking up extra customer assignments. Medical coverage is great with BlueCross but a bit higher cost than average. If you get a good route, work life balance is great. Lots of low level training if you do not know anything about everything. Almost anyone with people skills and basic business sense can do the job. Never seen layoffs, even when the market went south in 2009. Products are great quality and easy to sell. You get to take home a company van (billboard sign attached).

Cons

I could write a book here. Basically Cintas is money hungry and is willing to do whatever to hit arbitrary sales goals regardless of ethics. Being a big corporation they do whatever they can to appear to be honest and forthcoming but it is not the real truth. Pay is not bad but nowhere near what they tell you that you will make. Pay cuts come randomly if management thinks you are doing too well and they will make up whatever excuse they can to say its not true. There is lettle to no appreciation shown to those that do amazing things, just a question of "Now what are you going to do next month?" Promotions only go to friends and brown nosers of management not to whom is most qualified for the job. No innovation, no team work, no help/coverage for sick or vacation time, and top heavy management that is out of touch with the customer base and front line staff.

Pros

Cintas has an increadibly strong culture and set of values. They make you take test on it while you are still in training. The company as a whole is great.

Cons

Can be a Con depending on the person, but all of the sales is high pressure. They want you to push the customer a lot till they either say yes or you no, in which case you just leave and don't talk to them again.
