Pros

Benefits are better then most places, got to take vehicle home (standard for my occupation), sadly that's all I can say good about this company.

Cons

I was a long time employee for the fire protection division, I got to see how bad Cintas abused their employees and how much the customer got defrauded with bogus charges. They are very dishonest and will do whatever it takes to make the numbers, from charging the customer for parts that didn't get installed to tripling the cost of parts to make up for bad sale quotes. Employment law violations are common, they push safety meeting after safety meeting but when real safety issues come up during a project nobody wants to hear about it since it affects their profit, in other words they just want the signature from the employees to comply with OSHA and to get a better rate from their insurance company. They do not care about employees, letting go of a great employee two weeks after losing his child was a sign to me. BEWARE!

Pros

4 day work week and informed training

Cons

As an SSR, you're responsible for a lot; customer complaints, product shortages, bill discrepancies, customers that are in your face yelling/swearing. You are expected to give out your personal cell and email. With the average SSR having over 100 weekly clients, that's a lot of phone calls and emails, while you're already working a busy and physical job. They also claim you can make all these different bonuses. A lot of those bonuses are very small and capped. While I was there, I witnessed SSR's purposely overcharge clients on invoices just so that they could hit their numbers to attain a bonus. I did not enjoy having to have the same conversation over and over with clients that were overcharged.
