Cintas reviews

It's a very hard industry. There is never really as many prospects out there as they tell you. I would argue the industry as a whole has a negative view in many other business eyes. Companies who have tried Uniform programs usually will have been burned by them at some point, and it's hard to get those people back. Selling Uniforms I think is much tougher than selling Facility Services. If I could I offer advice, if you have the choice, sell FS, not uniforms. FS you will always have someone brand new opening and many more prospects...which is where you make money....new customers. Uniforms, you just have more working against you. Also, this is a tough job, and like other jobs, if you have a manager who you don't feel is helping you...the job is even tougher. You can't control who manages you, but Cintas has to realize better who they put in that position.

Cold corporate mentality, yet lots of KoolAid. Service management is a boy's club, can be unprofessional. Most managers worked their way up with no college education, some see ambitious young people as job threats. Inner-circle is visible - the GM and 2 or 3 service managers. Politics in the workplace. Lots of aggressive alpha-dog types, prevents cohesion and diversity.
