The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas in Mar 2010
Interview
There are usually at least three interviews all with different members of the management team. If you do well after the first interview you will go on a ride a long to see what the job is like. Interviewers read questions from paper but kept it conversational.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cintas in Jul 2009
Interview
The first step is a phone interview, then in a week they will bring you in to do a HR interview, then they will have you come in and interview with the hiring manager. If he/she likes you they will put you on to the next step which is a sales ride along with an established representative. Then you will interview with either the director or GM, then the final stage is the approval stage of the Group VP.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cintas (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2009
Interview
It was mainly behavioral questions. Describe a time when you did this, did that, etc. They are looking for people to adhere to the STAR format. One of their recruiters at corporate found my resume and called me. I think we did a phone interview on the spot, though we might have set it up for another time. It was a pretty thorough phone interview, possibly the longest leg of the journey. That recuiter then passed me on to an HR Director who only asked me about my career amibitions before concluding the interview. I then got passed on to a Regional VP who tried to get me to fly to the interview with him and a GM at my own expense. I called the recruiter back to let her know it would be most appropriate for Cintas to fly me to my interview. After that I received a plane ticket from Cintas. I spent about half a day interviewing with a GM and the VP, including lunch. The following week when I was back home I had to go to a local Cintas operation and shadow one of their drivers one day and one of their Service Managers another day. Some time after that I got a job offer.
