Pros

I guess the best reason to work there would be because in the begining they will make you feel very important. Strong Marketing. Decent starting pay.

Cons

The corporate culture is awful. As a woman sales rep, I was expected to wear short skirts and smile pretty. The possiblity of ever being promoted to management was not in the cards. Its a mans world there and a woman is never taken seriously. They recruited me with total BS promises of opportunity and instead quicky saw that I was sold a bag of beans. Micro-Managment is the standard and the manangers that are doing it have no clue what its like to be a top producing outside rep. They are closed minded, cant get outside the box, and turn down new accounts if they dont fit exactly into the "perfect customer" seneraio. They need to open thier eyes and see all the missed opportunties!

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.
