Pros

On going learning of new products. 4 day work week, weekends off,

Cons

Low compensation, monthly bonus is based on 5 or less expired contracts. If a contract expires within 1 year its counted against the SSR for the monthly bonus. Who really signs a contract before it expires unless you're looking to change something drastically on the account. Makes no sense. Disincentive for growing your route as an SSR. You get paid 3% per $10,000 and then only .5% more for every $1000 you add on. This is not how someone grows the route. Idea is to sell more out of the catalog but the pricing of the catalog is outrageous. In an era of internet pricing this is crazy. Constant meetings over unnecessary materials and only management speaks. If they paid better this would be an ok company to work for. Winters can be hard and long. Going in and out of a business. Work is hard and back breaking if you're there too long.

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.
