Pros

Andy Noto, one of Cintas's outside recruiters, contacted me about a great Management Trainee opportunity before it was even posted online Said they were especially interested in Veterans and those just finishing college which described me to a T

Cons

After attending a meet and greet with the Cintas staff I didn't hear back for about a month until Andy hit me up asking what happened. When I told him that I'd submitted my application and thank you notes but still hadn't heard back, he said he'd call the hiring manager and get back to me, never heard back. About a week after that, I shot Andy a text asking if all candidates should expect to left in the dark like this. In the following conversations, he proceeded to laugh at me and tell me this was my own fault. He made fun of me for having been let go from a position before. He pointed out that not hearing back is as just as good being told we're not interested, thankfully most companies in my experience don't operate that way. After mentioning that I'd be leaving this review, the insults started flying in faster, he left me no less than a dozen text messages and called me from 2 different numbers trying to reach me personally. I have to admit that I've never been treated so poorly by somebody that was doing their job, I'd hate to think that other Veteran candidates are going through this same experience.

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.
