Cintas reviews

Where to begin....first they will raise your number so high the expections are impossible to meet which is why turnover is rampant. They pit you against others on your team to steal accounts do whatever bc it does not effect your managers number at all so they encourage it. Your work life balance does not exist. You will work 60 hours a week due to the ridiculous amount of paperwork bc you have to have people sign 5 year contracts for toilet paper on top of getting it approved by your manager, your director, your GM, your service team, even your driver. They expect you to grind yourself into the ground with promises of promotions that never come due to spots dont open up. If a team struggles they just fire sales guys not the managers. They lose all their top performers after year or two to take much better jobs. They cant keep anyone valuable bc after a little time people see the real inner workings and its completely different that portrayed through interview process. This is a great job if you like busting your backside while your manager sits at home and asks you to take a picture outside your window immediately and send it back to make sure your knocking on doors at 7am rain or shine. Not to mention sitting in a cubicle twice a week for 5 hours makeing phon3 calls nonstop. If you dont you get scolded by your manager who just stands there and says keep going you get a bathroom break only last 5 min each hour. Not to mention everything your selling 90 percent of the population does not care to listen to your speech and your usually 50% more expensive than anyone else. Sounds great right?

Culture, IT infrastructure, offices practices, and procedures are all outdated. When you walk into the headquarters of Mason, OH, prepare for an incredibly stale and 1990's corporate environment with the "business professional" dress code (suits and ties on men, blazers on women), old tan cubicles, and dry personalities. Luckily I was in the Chicago office where things tended to a LITTLE more casual, but always seemed as if our office was pushing the limits of being able to take the workplace to the 21st century. Working from home was basically unheard of, and IT was not prepared during the pandemic to let employees work remotely properly. They also force you to use Internet Explorer as your main browser. Egos also tend to run rampant in some departments/roles. This is definitely a "sip the kool-aid" type of company where employees get sucked in to thinking Cintas is the greatest because they're comfortable in their role and get handed these shiny "awards" for their hard work that are completely irrelevant to anywhere outside of the company.
