Pros

Ability to be on route by yourself

Cons

I worked as an SSR in the First Aid and Safety division. You work long hours, no opportunities for growth and management is awful. You are micromanaged to the point that they put a device on your van to track your every move. On average you will make about $300 per week (without commission) and with commission you could make about 40-45k if you work 10 hour days. I was nationally ranked as top 5 in performance and still only made that much. Raises do not exist so don't get your hopes up. I left after 1.5 years and that was the best decision I've ever made.

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.
