Cintas Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Cintas

Pros – Great company if you like to be challenged, tested and pushed to achieve what you thought was impossible. Tremendious culture, principal ojective and generally great people to work with. Very strong training programs.

Cons – Not many cons. At times senoir leadership makes people moves without regard to the track record of all possible candidates. Higher level protions are made out of convience versus promting the best candidate. On the flip side, there are enough opportunites based on 39 consequtive years of growth to allow everyone the opportunity to take on more responsibility.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't ever forget to recognize your top performers and the fact the everything starts and ends at the field location level.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Cintas

Pros – pay ok ,benefits good ecept for retirement dollars

Cons – no respect for employees, , all about numbers ,totally unethical billing and customers are finally noticing with the economy stuggling dispite the company claims. this company is on a downward spiral and will continue to lose market share. ssrs need jobs too ,but need to shed their moral values if they want to continue working

Advice to Senior Management – complete turnaround needed customer surveys need to be a way to improve your operation rather than a whipping tool for ssrs to get a posittive response.[Don't tie it into GMs bonus but use constructive criticism to better your operation

Current Employee – been working at Cintas

Pros – The people I work with at cintas are very good people. The benefits are very good as far as the health insurance and 401k.

Cons – Cintas is the cheapest company ever. You would think that a company this big would reward their best and brightest with raises and incentives, but no.

Advice to Senior Management – Maybe management should think about actually rewarding the best employees with the only thing employees care about, Money!!!!!!!!! But managers at cintas are to worried about their jobs to notice their best employees leaving.

Current Employee – been working at Cintas

Pros – Been with the company 2+ years now, I will say the hours are minimal but the pay is as well. Very little micro-managing if you are performing, car package is decent too

Cons – Difficult to get a raise, have to wait till year ends and as was the case this year there was a pay freeze which took $4k out of my pocket, also cancelled President's Club so where is the incentive to perform.

Advice to Senior Management – Spend money on your top performers and they won't constantly leave.

Former Employee – worked at Cintas

Pros – many locations, which gives you an opportunity to transfer or get a promotion, good prestigious company, as a whole, to work for

Cons – stressfull, no home life as a STC, glorified route skipper, on route all the time, don't manage anything, terrible position

Advice to Senior Management – Show interest in your "partners"........ if a 1 question survey was given to the service department, and the question said; if you had a chance to work for a different company making the same money, would you leave? i'm sure a majority of everyone would leave. now ask yourself, why is that? the people that are working for you are your biggest asset. imagine half of the service department disgruntle, how would that translate to dealing with customers.........If SSRs and STCs are the face of the company, THEN ACT LIKE IT!!

Former Employee – worked at Cintas

Pros – This is a good company start working for right out of college. You earn a certain amount of respect for those people you see driving the CIntas truck.

Cons – If you work at one of the servicing plants I think that its not a good place to work due to lack of job opportunities

Advice to Senior Management – If the management team would like to retain their employees, they should encourage their plant sites to increase their wages of their employees and provide additional job opportunities for top performers.

Pros – Cintas is a great company, a Fortune 500 Company and has many chances to move upward. They were one of the only companies in the US to have continuous growth for 29 years.

Cons – Some of the managers do not know what they are doing. They push work to others to mask this and do a decent job of masking it. Some people also are promoted without merit.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to develop people within the company, however, realize that there is life beyond work. Working 55+ hours should be paid accordingly.

Pros – Promotional opportunities, fast paced work environment, employees that really care about one another, competitive pay and benefits, good working relationship between management and employees.

Cons – Not many downsides. There is no tuition reimbursement program, but they do offer a lot of internal training. Eventually, you reach a point where to advance, you need to relocate or spend time in the corporate office.

Advice to Senior Management – Focus on your top employees. Provide more incentives for managers. Base pay is great, but a bonus that is achievable would help drive results.
