Pros

-Good pay for an entry level position. -Opportunity to move up if successful -Partners and Management are friendly and always willing to help -Great training programs -benefits healthcare and 401K contributions are really great for a entry level position

Cons

-This is a sales job, it's listed as a service sales rep, but make no mistake about it this is a sales job with very real quotas that must be met or you will be fired. This isn't a bad thing. but people need to realize that you are not a delivery driver, except that you are a delivery driver who is expected to sell and grow your territory -the Territory you get starting out is luck based and depends on when you're hired, if they are adding new route because of growth, expect a much smaller route which means less money. If they hire you to replace someone there's a good chance the route you will be covering is established and a good chance to make some good money. Regardless of your skills as a sales person you can start the job making 60k+ based on nothing more than residual sales, you can also start the job at 35k because your territory is small and they expect you to grow it, again this has nothing to do with your talent level when you initially start out and more to do with the luck of the draw that was handed to you. My first route had me making around 45K annually, they guy they hired literally 1 month after i was hired took over a power route and was making 60k, we both hit our growth numbers at around the same clip respectfully yet he made 15k more than I did. -it Is very demanding and if you have a route that is far away, you will almost certainly be working 60 hours a week. -this may be more manager dependent but if you are falling behind on your numbers, you will be micro managed. happened to me at one point and several other partners. they try their best to be helpful and they are at least engaging on the matter, but you will be micro managed until your numbers come back to form.

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.
