Pros

Cintas, for now 2013 has very good health benefits and starts you out at $16.00 an hour till you get your own route, then your on commission. After about 4 years I was making about 40k a years, not the best!

Cons

Cintas likes to force high KPI numbers and quotas "numbers" on its employees. Its also a very gross job as you pick up dirty towels ect... all day. If you live in a hot area you may not want this gig as it gets 20 degrees hotter in your work truck. You also have to attend a weekly meeting about 5:30 am to go over the locations various CONTEST like selling more products to your customers. Oh ya and you'll be ask to role play in front of everyone at these meetings too. I would have to say the worst part about Cintas is the pay structure. Route volume pay = 1st $6000 you get 10%-----$6001 to $8000 you get 4%-----$8001 to $10000 you get 2%......In other words the more you work the less you get paid, so a smaller route makes more sense!!

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.
