Pros

A. 4 Day Work is amazing, especially if you lucky enough to get a Friday or Monday, usually goes to veterans/route setup. This allows for an awesome work-life balance (if your in shape, if not... your going to hate life for awhile). B. Training is something like 3 months, it may be different now. They have VERY VERY strict training guidelines, if you fail to progress or you struggle on the final interview (for a route, yep.. you don't have "job" yet). If you do bad, they'll re-train you and put you in the stand-by driver position (forgot the term), (basically your a floater and have no route to call your own). C. Awesome soft skills (conflict-management, customer service, etc)

Cons

A. Good luck in advancement. Not saying it's impossible, but the beating your body is going to take for you to actually move up in a management position is going to take it's toll tie that in with the current management staying in the position FOREVER, leaves you no room to advance in the short term. B. Training (once you make it) is joke, but your made to go on the weekends anyways (just deal with it). C. Now the single most issue and extremely important you pay attention: PAY SUCKS Your paid off of 17 different variables + base pay. Your base pay will cover gas and food for the week; but depends on your route volume, your only paid 2% on it up to 10k then it falls below that... you'll find out just how crappy the pay is if you accept lol D. Promotions. OMG the F'ing promotions they push on you to push sales (which they will try to convince you THAT'S where you'll make your money, and they are right.... if your a crook).

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.
