The honest Truth.... if you can work there, you can work anywhere- but look somewhere else. - Sales Representative Cintas Employee Review

Pros

The pay and benefits are the only perks, but, you defnitely have to work to get the pay... unless you work at a location that gets a lot of call ins.

Cons

You are supposed to eat, sleep and breathe Cintas. They micro manage to death, to the point of reporting every hour how many phonecalls you made, and you have to log everything in the system so they can scrutinize what you are doing every second of every day. I see them eventually going to GPS tracking devices, honestly- they are thinking about laptops for each sales person (i'm sure they would track you)

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.
