I applied online. I interviewed at Cintas in Jan 2021
Interview
I made it to the final round of this process. 5 interviews in total - one with the HR Manager at another location, one with the Director of HR, two with different General Managers, and one final one with the Director of HR. The communication was great until the end. I was told I was a finalist, just me and another person, and that I would be called regardless of the outcome. They sent me a generic regret response from their do not respond HR email 6 days later. This is NOT how you treat candidates, and if they treat their candidates this way, I can't imagine how they treat their employees.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (Salt Lake City, UT) in Mar 2026
Interview
Absolutely poor interview process. I was reached out to by a recruiter at Cintas in early March. I had a phone screening for 15 minutes that went well with her, and she moved me forward in the process. I ended up having FOUR interviews that were ONE HOUR each. After that, I didn't hear anything back from them. No phone call, no email, no text. Nothing. Fast forward to April, and I get a message from another recruiter asking me to apply and interview for the exact same position (HR Manager - Salt Lake City) that I had interviewed for before!
It makes me question whether or not their HR Manager opening in Salt Lake City is even real or not. Or if they intend to hire anyone for it. I am sure there were many other candidates that were as qualified, or even more qualified than I was for the position, and I would be willing to be they got the same treatment that I did!
I applied online. I interviewed at Cintas (Langley, BC) in Feb 2026
Interview
I had a scheduled phone interview where the interviewer called approximately 15 minutes late without acknowledging the delay. About 15 minutes into the conversation, the call disconnected. I attempted to call back immediately, but it went straight to voicemail and there was no follow-up. While technical issues can happen, the overall candidate experience felt disorganized.
