Role Overview

In the bustling heart of Baltimore, Maryland, Cintas Corporation is on the hunt for dynamic Service Sales Representatives in First Aid and Safety. This isn't just a sales job—it's a mission-critical role ensuring businesses across the city stay compliant, safe, and ready for anything. Picture yourself as the go-to expert for first aid cabinets, AEDs, eye-wash stations, and OSHA-mandated safety gear. You'll build lasting partnerships with local businesses, from crab house restaurants in Fells Point to tech startups in Harbor East, making sure their teams are protected every single day.

At Cintas, we've been helping over one million businesses nationwide get 'Ready for the Workday' since 1929. In Baltimore, that means servicing everyone from manufacturing plants in Dundalk to hospitality venues along the Inner Harbor. As a Service Sales Rep, you'll drive a company vehicle through Charm City's vibrant neighborhoods, solving real problems like expired bandages or malfunctioning fire extinguishers. It's hands-on work that combines sales acumen with genuine care for workplace safety, and the earning potential is as rewarding as keeping lives safe.

Day in the Life

Your day kicks off at 7 AM from the Cintas Baltimore service center in the 21211 zip code area. Fuel up with coffee, review your route on the tablet—maybe stops at a construction site in Canton, a warehouse in Curtis Bay, and a corporate office in Mount Vernon. First stop: a local shipyard where you inspect the first aid station, restock trauma kits, and demo a new automated external defibrillator (AED). The foreman appreciates your expertise on OSHA 1910.151 requirements, and you upsell eyewash pods—boom, another sale.

By noon, you're grabbing a crab cake lunch at a Faidley's Seafood spot, then hitting a row of small businesses in Hampden. You replace outdated gloves and masks, chat about their expansion plans, and secure a referral to a nearby brewery. Afternoon brings a deep service call: calibrating safety showers and training staff on proper use. Wrap up by 5 PM with paperwork, celebrating hitting your quota. Evenings? Maybe catch an Orioles game at Camden Yards, knowing you've made Baltimore safer. This rhythm blends independence, relationship-building, and tangible impact—no two days alike in this energetic city.
