Pros

Great culture, decent base pay

Cons

Expected to do a significant amount of work outside of business hours. 8-5 in the field then all paperwork and additional training after initial hire date is to be done before or after business hours. If you have a family or value your free time this may not be the company for you.

Pros

Pros are few and far between. Willing to train despite your background; they look for a skill set which is better than most companies who only want degrees with no background to show for it.

Cons

High turnover, micro management, poor managerial skills. Despite what they say, all they care about are numbers, they don't care about you as an employee, whatsoever. They hide the truth from the application and interview. Originally hired as an Accounts Receivable Clerk, only to be forced to become AR AND receptionist AND data entry, and anything else in the office that they need. The pay doesn't come close to the workload. Salary review is a joke... literally .25 cents a year. Managers that don't want to pick up the slack when people are out yet they won't hire an additional office partner to help balance the already overwhelming workload. Vacation use is questioned...and DENIED because there aren't enough partners to work customer service even though it's not even your job. The office manager is supposed to pick up the slack so the others can work and they refuse. Office hours strictly 8-5; you can't schedule doctor appointments, events, etc and stay later or come early to make up your time because partners don't have personal lives, apparently. Meanwhile, management just ups and leaves whenever they want at the drop of a dime to be with their families or anything they have personal to do. Reprimanding management for problematic behaviors because of favoritism is expected. Management does sneaky, underhanded things to their partners. Hiding employee's final paychecks because the GM doesn't like when ppl leave to better themselves, racist, taking photos of employees who work two jobs (which is stalking )to make sure they're where they say they are and can't work OT, the list goes on. They'll lie and manipulate the rules to cover themselves when they do something wrong and YOU have to pay for it. Going against attendance policy and making their own rules, only to double back and write you up when they originally said it was okay to contact them a certain way if something happens. If you speak out against or question anything, you will forever be a black sheep and can't advance. And certainly not when they know you're right and won't accept it. Honesty and integrity is all the CEO preaches but they don't follow it AT ALL. I have never worked for a more dishonest and untrustworthy company. I have come to hate Cintas with every fiber of my being. The day I can quit can't come soon enough.

Money and the fact when you get the route down it will be short hours

Cons

Turn over is high and if you don't suck up, you can forget about advancement. a X will be on your back the next day
