Pros

-You can get/stay in shape. Physical, active job. On your feet all day, lifting, carrying, loading, unloading etc. -4 day work weeks -Fun culture and coworkers -high quality management and leadership -independence - generally no one is looking over your shoulder all day -customers may offer you food/meals (depends on the route and your relationship with your customers but you could potentially get 3 free meals a day if you wanted)

Cons

-You will be in "training" (SSRT) for at least 2-6 months where you will earn $17 an hour. -As an SSR, your pre tax annual income will range approximately between 35k (low performer) to a max of 55k (top performer). Whether youve been there 2 years or 20 years. -Very little opportunity for upward mobility in company. Not many avenues exist. -early work days (430-630am depending on route) -must work in the elements, rain, snow, heat etc) -minimal vacation time. -many trucks are in poor condition including many without functioning A/C. I felt unsafe in several trucks. -trucks are heavily roach infested. -you will most likely have to sort through dirty kitchen laundry filled with maggots, especially in the warm months.

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.
