Pros

True team management experience, Fun/fast paced, good people, health insurance is great, team atmosphere

Cons

Salaried personal are expected to do jobs that hourly people should be doing. All salaried people are expected to work 60 hours a week. Salaried supervisors are expected to cover their hourly guys vacations 100%.As maintenance sup, with 6 guys covering shifts starting at 330am and ending at 11pm, and each guy having 4 weeks of vacation, thats 24 weeks a year that you are pulling double duty. It gets old very quickly. Management is hit or miss. My GM took 6 months to learn my name. He has under 20 salaried personal. My Plant manager was awesome but you can't complain to someone about working 60 hours a week when they are there before you and leave after you. There isn't any work life balance, it is simply Cintas all the time.

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.
