Pros

Reasonable pay, great benefits, great people mostly.

Cons

Forced to work even when sick due to staffing. Saw people with injuries still working because they dont have enough staff. A lot of pressure and high expectations. No support from management unless you are a favored employee and never miss a day of work. Staff are allowed to treat each other poorly with no consequences, but most of them are pretty good. They demand excellence but give you little help to acheive it. They promote work life balance in the interview, then dont support it when life happens. They may still let you work there, but make you feel horrible if you miss even a few hours of work.

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.
