Pros

Coworkers were really nice, everyone always tries to help each other out.

Cons

Long hours; having to get up at 3:30 am every morning and also deal with the weather conditions. The pay doesn't equate to the workload. You have to make sure the customer is happy by ensuring they receive their mats, products and uniforms; however, there are plenty of times when the products aren't available. Sales , Sales Sales!! You are expected to continuously sell products to your customers, while stressed out about the workload.. delivering and getting back to the plant on time. Too many customers to manager per day and not a enough time to really spend selling and just servicing the customer's needs. If you tried to do everything that is expected of you, you would be working 14 hour days. Also, you don't get paid standard over-time, it Chinese overtime. Even though it isnt your fault that products like mats, terry towels and shop towels aren't available that day, it still falls back on you. If the customer is unhappy and you have to give credits because of missing products, it reflects badly on your numbers. Very numbers driven which isn't feasible for what is being put on the ssr.

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.
