Pros

Benefits are decent if you need them. If a specific location is desperate enough for the position you are interviewing for or working - they may offer higher than the typical starting rate or offer more if you threaten quitting after proving to be a valuable asset. ALWAYS COUNTER WITH A HIGHER NUMBER (~10-20% higher)

Cons

Maintenance practices, standards and upper management are awful. Giant corporation where employees are numbers and pay is subpar for skills and work provided. Employees who work for the company for extended years earn positions they are unqualified for. Several supervisors quit largely in part due to a regional manager - no investigation from upper management as to the high number of supervisors quitting in a short period of time. No merit based raises.

Pros

The Commission is great. You can make good money in this place.

Cons

While the pay is good, the culture here is not. It is incredibly restrictive. It is very much a “Do what I want you to do, how I want you to do it, and when I want you to do it” management style. They constantly remind you of how much money you can make there which gets annoying after a while. The service team and the sales team are constantly at odds. Not just Cintas, but the industry in general is very sleazy, much like a car dealership. They screw over their smaller customers with enormous year over year price increases. I know a particular salesperson who is having a lot of success their who has no problem lying to his customers, and never answering their calls when the problems come. As long as he keeps the deals coming Cintas does not care. Corporate greed is on full display at Cintas. The Management Development program for college graduates seems like a great opportunity. If you are a young college graduate and you get the opportunity, I would recommend that.
