Cintas Employee Reviews

Hardest part of the job is the heat no ac in one of the locations. I had a shift that I was finished mid afternoon so that was nice. I was a garment loader so I would load trucks and cages as well as mat rolling.

What is the best part of working at the company?Cintas is an excellent company to work for. Their core values are what set them apart from other employers. You will feel secure in your job and safe to be yourself.

The partners all work together and get rewarded for hard work with plenty of incentives. The culture is wonderful as well for the most part they have high moral standards and truly believe in team work.What is a typical day like for you at the company?A typical day at the company for me was pretty good. Greeted by everyone usually with a smile and good morning. Work load is fairly busy so the days go by fast.

Absolutely horrible

Mat roller (Former Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 29 November 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The benefits do not over weigh the downside. You are expected to do multiple jobs besides the one you signed a contract todo, because they are always short staffed. There is no accountability for employees who have been there a couple of years. Management also changes way too frequently. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Having to work multiple positions that you weren’t contracted todo. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Repetitive, constantly having to make up for the lack of work other employees aren’t doing

Never got paid for the try out day.

Cleaning room (Former Employee) - West Island, QC - 22 November 2023

Seemed like a good opportunity, I just decided to take another job instead. The people were friendly, the managers were all a pleasure to meet, my only upset is that I did the try out work day and it’s been 2 months and I still haven’t been paid for it.

Pros

Nice people, good pay

Cons

Never got paid for my try out day

Revolving door

SSR (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 12 November 2023

Cintas values its shareholders over everything. There is constant turnover. Their price structure for products is absurd and they will raise prices annually. Constantly putting out fires. The pay isn't worth the stress that comes along with the job.

Stressful, fast-paced, and uncared for.

Loader/Unloader (Current Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 4 October 2023

This is a physically demanding job. Expect overtime because the work load is unrealistic for any human being. The warehouse is understaffed but they do not hire any more people, then increase work loads expecting them to be done in the same manner of time. The warehouse is extremely disorganized and messy making it much harder to work efficiently. As well as all the broken tools and machinery you will be using. Express your concerns and be prepared to blown off, made to feel that these are not important matters, or made to feel that your concerns are heard but then do nothing about it. Working 2pm-1230am Monday - Thursday makes it hard to balance life outside of work. Especially when they turn your 10.5h shift into 13-14h without the proper breaks given. This company will tell you that it cares about you but their actions do not match their words. It’s a large corporate company who only cares about money. Simple as that. You will be another cog in the machine.

Pros

3 day weekend, Co-workers

Cons

Long hours, Overtime, Management, Demanding, Exhausting

Weird

SSR (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 21 September 2023

Weird cult-like growth culture. It's all about sell, sell, sell.Even if the customer doesn't need the product or can even afford a little bump in they're invoice. Just get more sakes, more volume, more products out there.

Not worth the time.

Unloader (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 18 September 2023

Completely undervalued as an employee. Not worth the time. Management is extremely poor and Human Resources is no help at all. Hours weren’t bad and the team lead was extraordinary.

Pros

10 hour shifts

Cons

Poor management

Terrible management

SSR (Former Employee) - New Brunswick - 6 September 2023

One of worst jobs I have ever hard where management is always contradicting themself and never being accountable often passing the buck. During covid management stayed in their office while staff were on the front line forced to work trying to get a sale just to make a pay cheque to pay bills wondering if it was good enough to have a job the next day.One thing I've learned is mental health and family means nothing to them as many of my coworkers suffered from it during the same time period with lack of support and communication from upper management who again had no heart but greed on their mind. Pure example of how the mighty dollar and greed can change people. As a safety company they should provide body armor for all the back stabbing that's done on a daily bases.

Pros

None

Cons

No support

Challenging but Rewarding

Outside Sales Representative (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 August 2023

After a full year in sales it’s clear that it is what you make of it. I made a 23k bonus in my 4th quarter then let my foot off the gas and made half that. No excuse mentality and strong company culture has helped me grow as a person. It can be stressful at times but it’s all how you manage your work

Decent short term job

Service Sales Representative (Former Employee) - On the towd - 22 August 2023

Unethical company. Pays decent enough, take the job while you find another. Constantly short on products you are supposed to deliver, everyone will pretend to be surprised about this even though it happens every week.

Pros

Coworkers

Decent work place. Bad hours and raise system is broken in companies favour

Loader/Unloader (Former Employee) - Newmarket, ON - 21 August 2023

This job is great for people that enjoy factory work. Raises are not much of thing. Recognition isnt the best by management but other employees around the building will notice your work and appreciate you. Often asked to due multiple jobs at once. Problem solving is your best tool because often the people you may ask wont have the right answers.

Pros

Fun people. Exercise. Benefits. HR is great.

Cons

Pay. Lack of communication. Evening shift. Double up. Limited overtime unless way behind.

Great company overall

Territory Sales Representative (Current Employee) - Langley, BC - 17 August 2023

This is not an easy job. However, there are many who are willing to put in the work and follow what management instructs to do and be wildly successful.

Productive and great place to work

Accounting Clerk (Current Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 14 August 2023

I have the best manager, she is understanding and is always there to help. I love my job and it is very satisfying work. My coworkers are like a second family to me. Amazing to work with. The only downside I can say is raises are very small. The most you can get is 50 cents nothing more than that. I wish they would bring the yearly raises up to at least a dollar.
