Pros

The only pro I can think of is that you have a little freedome while on route, it's more like running your own business, except when you make a decision that your supervisor doesn't like you get disciplined.

Cons

Sales goals are unrealistic. If done correctly the customer suffers from a higher bill every 3 months indefinitely. Commissions are great sometimes but if you make an extra sale your goals go up even more next month. In a way you are punished for selling more than expected because no one can always sell more and more each month to the same exact customers.

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.
