Pros

Pay was not bad for awhile, co-workers were friendly for the most part.

Cons

Economy has hit this place hard. Most corp departments have been outsourced or are going to be outsourced. Not many long term partners left, no one really knows what the different divisions are or what they do. Management bonuses based on Six Sigma 'made up' numbers. Corp offices are a museum now, big shell of a building with no one in it.

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.
