Pros

Decent benefits, mostly friendly coworkers, 4 days a week for SSRs, lots of room to grow and be promoted. Safe place to work. If you are very competitive and don't mind blue collar work, this is good spot to land.

Cons

Cold corporate mentality, yet lots of KoolAid. Service management is a boy's club, can be unprofessional. Most managers worked their way up with no college education, some see ambitious young people as job threats. Inner-circle is visible - the GM and 2 or 3 service managers. Politics in the workplace. Lots of aggressive alpha-dog types, prevents cohesion and diversity.

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.
