I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas in Apr 2023
Interview
Very unconventional... started in person. Was delighted with that experience. Second interview was HR, they were also pleasant and straight forward. Concerned me with the response to one question I had. Third Interview was iffy...it concerned me the most. He very directly bragged about firing 5 employees his first month in the position... and Last interview was with higher up who was asking pretty misleading questions about my personal life to try tie it into my work choices pathway... More importantly he wrote on his notepad without making contact.. so I noticed nothing was actually being written. It seemed like a dead end interview at that point they had only followed throw for formality and not because they choose to.

Question 1
Why did I choose Cintas? What was my reason for going to college? Why did I join a military branch? What is an experience where I had to pushback on a customers requests and how I handled it? Can I handle stress?
Recruiter handled the process the entire time we did not go forward though. I felt like the recruiter ghosted me after i followed all instructions. But I would answer if approached again.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (Oregon City, OR) in Oct 2024
Interview
Sales Managers in this company drank too much Cintas kool-aid. They are just as bad as most companies who over hype potential earnings and career paths. It is a truly baffling experience especially for a tenured sales executive.
If you need a job in sales to build your resume/career, Cintas would be a great starting point. If you are a seasoned sales executive, Cintas is not the way to go.
A 4-step interview process for entry level sales? That seems to be a bit extreme but who am I to judge?
Cintas' interview process involves stages like online application, phone screening, in-person interviews, skill assessments, facility tours, final interviews, background checks, and job offers. Specific steps may vary depending on the role and location of the position.
