Cintas Reviews

Pros

Ok Benefits
Decent Salary
Experience
Oppurtunity for Advancement

Cons

Poor work/life balance
Long Hours (hrs were 5am to 6:30pm)
Severly Under Staffed
Most of my time was in warehouse doing meticlious work or covering a SSR's route with no route book.
High Stress

Advice to Senior Management

Stop promoting the MT position as this great position when realistically its just a way for mgmt to work you 70hrs and only pay you for 40hrs. The MT position is largley dependent on working for a profitiable and efficient location. If you work for a under-performing location you will suffer.

Pros

4 day work week was very nice, benefits are good as well. No weekend work, only an occasional training session on Saturday.

Cons

Very hard work for very low pay. They constantly reminded you that YOU were the face of the business, YOU were Cintas, but the pay sure didn't reflect it.

Advice to Senior Management

Increase your pay to some of the "frontline" staff. If they truly are Cintas, then they need to feel appreciated!

Pros

Cintas has so many programs to give back to our community. Matthew 25, Cloth the Kids, American Heart Association, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society are just a few of these programs.

Cons

The company needs more brand recognition.

Pros

benefits, stability, growth, diverse departments, cross training

Cons

big workload, long hours, resources

Advice to Senior Management

invest in working resources for departments, provide management and employee support, follow through with processes and procedures in order to succeed

Pros

frontline partners are amazing people. They are the backbone of the company. Autonomy of positions allow for people to perform, as long as they are the right fit.

Cons

Benefits are just ok, for management it seems like there is no real process to ensure a proper work life balance.

Pros

4-day work week
opportunity for less than 40-hour work week

Cons

incompetent management
need more employees
lack of product

Advice to Senior Management

increase pay
better management
more routes to ease workload

Pros

benefits, discounts, gaining knowledge and experience, the holiday get togethers and random free lunches

Cons

management is wrong with how they throw people under the bus. way to clicky, no raises ever!

Advice to Senior Management

stop throwing everyone under the bus to save ur ass!

Pros

Fantastic front line employees, and in pockets, there are great mid and senior management.

Cons

Compensation deception.
"Not my job" mentality.

Advice to Senior Management

Please let bring unrealistic "balcony" demands, and your blind eye to reality closer together.

Pros

The people themselves were great. If you can handle long hours and lack of sleep with little recognition you'll do great. Benefit were very good and pay was decent, as long as you don't divide the pay by the actual amount of hours you put in each week.

Cons

Manage feed back is ZERO. Don't know where you stand until they either let you go or your told your being reassigned. Then if you try to work out the problems they only make your daily work life difficult. Get out when you can or better yet, STAY AWAY altogether.

Advice to Senior Management

The people that work for you either make or break you. There are a lot of hardworking people that could be very sucessful and help the company strive if more feed back is given. Not just " They're not a cultural fit" It's funny how many partners after many years of working there turn out not to be a "cultural fit" Scott Farmer, I've met you several times and seem to be a smart guy, but you have no clue at what happens at each location in regards to your managment teams(current or past). I've had managers that I've loved and were effective that didn't stay long and ones that could find there ass with both hands that got promoted and could screw up more jobs as a regional person. Shareholders are important but not if you have a bunch of "Yesmen" and MBA with no clue of how to do the jobs telling patners the wrong way to get the job done. Have a nice day,

Pros

It looks great on your resume and if you can do this job you can do any job

Cons

Phone never stops ringing and there is NO work-life balance.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay your management better. There should never been a manager making less then a driver and it happens all the time.
