Pros

Can be a fun job if you like quick-turning sales. The process can take as little as a day to sign an account and get them started. Manager at this location is good and does a lot for the team so you don't feel like you're drowning like with a lot of other sales positions. If you can figure out how to sell the high earning products, there is a lot of potential to make good money. Benefits are fairly good and PTO is above average. A lot of flexibility as well. Overall, everyone at this office is pretty kind and helpful.

Cons

Commission structure is a pain in the a** to navigate. Some products pay more than others and you have to spend a considerable amount of time at the end of the month counting out each individual product you sold and make sure that it all hit commissions (this could be in the hundreds if you sell Facility Services). The base salary is low so if you don't push the products that make you money, you won't be making money. Bonuses are a lot harder to get than they advertise as well, especially if you're in a territory with no leads coming in. Mad Heights office can be a bit like a boys club. For such a large company, a LOT of the tech is outdated and you will spend a long time trying to get things fixed that aren't your fault.

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.
