Pros

You’re told that you’re seen as a leader of the company, and hear some verbal praise. Unfortunately, the tasks you are given does not quite line up.

Cons

You work as a glorified intern for 2 years, hoping that you’ll be given the opportunity to display your talents. Enter with the promise of being a sales rep after the program, and don’t get an opportunity to sell anything for the first 12+ months of the program.

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.
