Pros

They are a very stable company that has experienced growth in each fiscal year since they opened in 1968. They are a very hard working company that really does think about their employees while making decisions. The benefits they offer are second to none. They work well around home schedules. I have had to take 4 days off when my wife and I had our baby and they were fantastic about that.

Cons

I was initially told the pay salary was 40,000 and then when it was time to sign the employee aggreements, it suddenly became 38,000. The sales system is a little bit too micro managed.

Pros

Working at Cintas First Aid & Safety has been one of the most rewarding professional experiences I’ve had. From day one, it’s clear that the company genuinely cares about its employee partners and wants them to succeed. The training is thorough, hands‑on, and designed to set you up for long‑term growth. Leaders are approachable, supportive, and always willing to jump in and help. What I Love Most: - Strong, positive culture of teamwork - Career growth opportunities - Meaningful, impactful work — what we do matters - Great training, continued development, and support - Stability and benefits

Cons

No company is perfect, but the challenges here tend to be the kind that help you grow. Fast‑paced days, high expectations, and a results‑driven environment. If you’re someone who thrives on structure, competitive spirit, and momentum, you’ll fit right in.

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.
