Pros

You do get to be alone most of the time which is nice.

Cons

The whole system is messy. You get a low base salary, and make very little off commissions. You’re pushed by management to make more money at each customer every month. This is clearly unachievable and leads every SSR to do shady things. I’ve had my manager tell me to remove product that a customer has already paid for in their first aid cabinet to make room for new product just to make the sale. I’ve had the same manager tell me I cannot go home until I made a certain amount of money that day. Management will also tell you that you cannot use your own PTO around holidays and if you do use PTO they will deny it and you’ll get a strike. 3 strikes and you’re fired. Management praises you for scamming customers, and reprimands you when you don’t.

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.
