Pros

Training is very good. Car package which pays for gas and car payment. Free snacks in office and freedom to make your own schedule.

Cons

Not a role for everybody. Super strict business professional dress code in the office, 7:30 start time on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays where you sit in on pointless meetings that could be done from home, and cold calling from a cubicle while your manager watches over you. Very corporate, high pressure sales role with unrealistic quota and a lot of windshield time. Work life balance is at a minimum if you want to do well. There are a lot of better sales roles out there.

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.
