Pros

Great, level headed people who truly want to do what's right for the employee to engage them in a positive culture. Good foundation of policies, processes. Gain a lot of experience in certain fields with Cintas. Cintas truly care's about employee engagement and try's very hard to give people a good working atmosphere. Benefits are great, Comp in certain fields is not. The Management Trainee program is a great program and will teach individuals just out of school a LOT about hard work, ethics, how to review business reports. etc. Excellent safety program. This company truly cares about safety.

Cons

Overworked for well below the salary of the position. It's a man's man industry. If you are in Sales, great job because you'll be the only one's to make money, which is way to high a salary for the people they hire. They invest in may positions and people except HR. They don't want experience here, they want people who will work for nothing.

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.
