Pros

Good Sales Training Program. Well recognized sales training program by other employers. Good stepping-stone to another job.

Cons

Micro-managment to the death. Your manager will want to know everything about what you are doing because they don't trust you. Compensation for commissions and expenses arrived late on several occasions. Heard stories from other sales reps that managers would sandbag accounts from installing in order to benefit their pay and hurt their reps quarterly bonus. Worst part of the week is phone blocking. Phone blocking is where you sit in a cubicle for 4 hours and try to contact 100 people to set as many appointments as possible. Get used to rejection.

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.
