Pros

Good Corporate Culture, Great training. Location partners are all great resources if you have them there. Great 1st time management experience in recruiting, hiring, training, retaining & promoting. Really learn to deal with different personality styles and how to manage them and influence outcomes. Big fulfillment is promoting your reps to higher positions.

Cons

Very hard to maintain a successful track record with the sales rep job being such a revolving door. Your reps life span typically is 2 - 3 years tops so maintaining a strong team for the long term is not feasible. Very redundant and mundane activities that are expected and need to be tracked weekly which seem to not make sense. A constant top grading mentality only rewarding and recognizing the top 15% and looking constantly how to change the middle 70%.

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.
