Pros

I am really at a lose of words for the best reasons to work at Cintas. I guess the 401K option is good, but they don't pay the plant workers enough to be able to invest.

Cons

Employees have just lost their normal hourly pay. They placed us on a "incentive program" to make "more money". But the truth of the matter is that they royally screwed us. They raised our production numbers so high that we can't even hang the amount needed to continue making the same pay. We won't be making more because they dropped the base pay to barely over minimum wage. And they think we should be happy about this. I don't know how they can sleep at night!!! They also lie to their clients. They charge extra for pressing clothes, but they don't press half of the garments that we're supposed to. We hang soured garments all day, and they don't fix half the repairs that we find. I don't even know why we're supposed to look for them. I wouldn't recommend this company to future employees or clients.

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.
