Pros

The people I work with are great. You get to meet many customers and that's what I enjoy most. I talk to people and have fun throughout the day. The pay is decent. I started at about 35k and my route was built up, through me and with the help of management, to around 50k. I don't see much room for growth though because my week is 40 hours and they won't let you go much over that. I like my service manager He understands issues and does his best to help. Great benefits. Can make your own hours.

Cons

It's hard work and certainly not for everyone. I change about 300-400 floor mats a week along with delivering towels, chemicals, paper products, and uniforms. The big shots are always trying to squeeze more and more out of the ssr. We handle all price increase negotiations (1 or more yearly), are required to get customers to sign a completely 1-sided 5 year service contract, do two 15 minute truck inspections daily, deal with and explain constant product shortages to customers, and put out lots of other fires. They are always on us about something (do this training, sell more catalog, sample this or that, get renewals, etc). All this on top of the exhausting work. Then after you work your tail off to get done, they often make you wait around to get checked in. There is a big disconnect between the people that actually do the work and the people that decide what those workers do.

Pros

Cintas is a reputable company with solid structure and great training. They give you good goals to hit and have reasonable expectations to hit your KPI's (what you're measured on)

Cons

Quite honestly you don't make enough for the work you put in, jumping to another company after Cintas is a step up. Even if you max out your commission potential and bonuses you will find that you can make more if you move into more of a sales role, especially with other companies. Another downside is personal days off, there is typically only one week PTO when you start and you are expected to make up for time not running your route before and after you get back.

Pros

Steady. cool coworkers. hybrid vehicles

Cons

Sales people makes your job harder by making these big promises that the ssr, sanis, or tile and carpet has to meet. the raises aint sh!t. If you work overtime, they wont pay you unless you complain.
