Pros

Great Base, they pay for all fuel, can use their insurance instead of your own, benefits are good and they begin quickly which is nice, good corporate training. Good place to start a career in sales.

Cons

Work life balance has gone away, monitoring of when you start and end your day and where you are throughout the day is extremely high. Very structured which is more condusive to introductory sales person, which is often not what they are looking for. Very senior management seems to have a good idea how to train and motivate sales teams, that unfortunately is not translated to local sales managers. Nor is that ability looked for in the sales managers chosen, they seem to be promoted on numbers only, neglecting the leadership skills needed for such a micro managed position. The communication between management on plans for employees and company seem to lack a great deal, leading to a large amount of frustration that seems to trickle down. How conversations and timing goes for things such as pay changes is very poor, again frustration.

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.
