Cintas interview questions

First I received a call from HR to schedule a phone screening. Then after the initial phone screening I was scheduled to interview with the Facility Sales Rep Manager. After that interview I got a phone call from the Sales Rep manager later that day to schedule me for my next interview. My next interview was with the sales rep manager at a different plant. After that interview I received a call later that day to interview with the uniform sales rep manager the next week. After that interview I was setup to go on a all day ride-along. They paid me for the ride-along so that was good. After the ride-along I was called the next day and scheduled to interview with the District Sales Rep Manager. After that interview I was called a week later and scheduled to interview with VP of Sales for the Midwest Region. My interview with him was via web-conference. That interview was more about how Cintas operates and what would be expected of me if I was selected. After that interview I was called two weeks later and asked to come into the office. I was pretty confident that I got the job at this point. When I came into the office the next day I was offered the position. The whole interview process was different than anything Ive ever experienced. Most of the interview questions were behavioral. Yes, it was long grueling but it was worth it in the end. Cintas is very careful about who they hire hence the reason for the low turnover rate. I cant wait to start my career with Cintas! I will update my work experience later.

I applied online and was contacted within 3 days of applying. I was given an impromptu interview over the phone. Than I was asked to drive 2 hours one way for the first interview. I was kind of put off by that due to the fact I applied for a position in a completely different state. However I didn't realize all the interviews would require me to keep traveling this far. After that they asked me to come for another interview in the same location. Than I was asked to come for a third interview even further away from where the first two interviews took place. I was interviewed by a "director" who seemed as if he really didn't want to be there in the first place and had no intentions of hiring me before I even said anything. He asked a lot of irrelevant questions such as"how did you pay for college" and "what did you win at in college". If anyone can explain how those questions determine how well I would do as a sales person please let me know. Anyway after I was finished with him I spoke to another manager who seemed to like what I had to say and said I was giving great answers. The next day I got the infamous "we don't want you email." I have no problem with not getting a position, however I feel they had no regard for my time. Also it was like I was already working for them without getting paid because of how much time this interview process took. So it left a bad taste in my mouth and gave me the impression that for all their talk of taking care of their employees, is all it is just talk.
