We hold ourselves accountable at every level

Cintas partners are committed to the responsible and ethical business practices that have come to be expected from us. So it’s not surprising that our unmatched reputation for honesty, accountability and professionalism have consistently ranked us among the most admired and trustworthy companies in America.

Always, we operate according to the Cintas Code of Conduct — mandating full compliance with laws and regulations and preserving the integrity of our company.

Cintas Code of Conduct Guidelines

For every business decision we make, we ask these important questions for guidance:

  • Will this action endanger anyone’s life, health or safety?
  • Is it legal?
  • Will I be violating either a law or a company policy?
  • Is it honest in every respect?
  • How will my actions make me feel about myself? Will it make me proud or ashamed?
  • How would I feel if my actions were disclosed to the media?
  • How will I feel if my family knows about it?

The Cintas culture is the difference maker

Our culture at Cintas is just as essential as our products and services. In fact, it makes all the difference — impacting the quality of the employees we hire, the way we communicate and interact with our customers and each other, and our world-class performance standards.

Our culture is the cornerstone representing our values, our behaviors, our way of working and how we approach our business…strong relationships and a dedication to taking care of one another and our customers.

We’re also dedicated to enriching the professional development of our employee-partners … providing ongoing training and creating an environment that helps them leverage their strengths and develop their talents. Our employees enjoy both vertical and lateral moves, and we always encourage them to go as far as their ambition takes them.

Of course, we also offer an array of valuable benefits to help protect our partners’ well-being and give them peace of mind about their financial future — including competitive pay, plenty of career advancement opportunities, great health benefits, supportive health and wellness programs, and attractive retirement.
