Pros

If you want to benchmark against the worst treatment possible this is the place to go. While working a booth at a job fair, after I left Cintas I spoke with a fellow recruiter who also had worked for Cintas. One thing to remember especially military members because Cintas aggressively recruits former NCOs and junior officers is if you paid any attention to ethics training or showed any concern for your troops this is not the place for you. Become a prison guard for the state of California, you will be paid better and the convicts will respect you more than Cintas management will.

Cons

Petty treatment, moronic work rules, martinets in management and stinginess beyond compare. In addition, if you seek any intelligent conversation beyond last night's ball game you are out of luck. At a company function an executive was asked, "Why does not Cintas provide tuition assistance"? The answer given was if we paid college tuition how could we say no to someone who wanted to study horticulture compared to someone who wanted to study business. Easy, Cintas has more rules that any firm I have ever worked for. Create a rule that says we only pay college tuition for majors that relate to our business, i.e. industrial engineering, accounting, HR whatever. Instead, Cintas chose to treat the people in the room as if we all had lobotomies. I got away from Cintas as soon as something better came along.

Pros

Working at Cintas First Aid & Safety has been one of the most rewarding professional experiences I’ve had. From day one, it’s clear that the company genuinely cares about its employee partners and wants them to succeed. The training is thorough, hands‑on, and designed to set you up for long‑term growth. Leaders are approachable, supportive, and always willing to jump in and help. What I Love Most: - Strong, positive culture of teamwork - Career growth opportunities - Meaningful, impactful work — what we do matters - Great training, continued development, and support - Stability and benefits

Cons

No company is perfect, but the challenges here tend to be the kind that help you grow. Fast‑paced days, high expectations, and a results‑driven environment. If you’re someone who thrives on structure, competitive spirit, and momentum, you’ll fit right in.

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.
