Pros

4 Day work week, you're done with your route when you are done (some weeks I only worked 35 hours) but wish my sales team would have grown my route - the salesmen will sell the customer anything and then the SSR is screwed to fix up the mess they made

Cons

Impossible to get time off, the GM had a little mans complex and either loved you or hated you - he fired a great Marketing Manager even though he was in the top third of the company for what he got fired for and got our Direct Sales up over projections - can't take vacation during holidays, if you get a small route you could only make 300 a week. Keep hiring outside managers who have never worked hard or run a route their entire life Bleed blue or go home!

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.
