Pros

Stable company. Competitive, but median-level, salary and benefits. Great people.

Cons

Dress code and grooming policies are stuck in the past. Formal business attire required and white or blue dress shirts strongly preferred. Beards are not allowed, only mustaches and goatees. The latter being a newer policy change. You must shave daily. Very conservative, Republican company. Executives are a major donor to the Republican party. Vacation policy is not competitive. Two weeks of annual vacation time until five years. Three weeks of vacation until 15 years. Maxes out at four weeks of vacation after year 15.

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.
