      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (Philadelphia, PA) in Sept 2010

      Interview

      It is imperative that all interviews begin on the website; regardless of how you obtain info on the position vacancy (ie, networking, word-of-mouth, etc). The first interview was completed via telephone with the HR rep, as well as my follow-on in-person interview. She was sharp as a tack, and asked the basic screening questions. I was then interviewed by 4 other people (the sales manager, another service manager, and finally the GM) , all in the same day as the initial in-person interview. The spectrum of personality types varied given the positions, the sales manager was very professional and had a pleasant demeanor. The service manager seemed a bit abrasive, but was your typical a-type guy who got the job done. Finally, the GM was extremely pleasant, made me very comfortable during the process, and was informative of the expectations, and follow on procedures for the interview process. The questions asked during the interviews were all "canned", and spoon-fed to the interviewer from a standard file sheet, presumably from the HR dept of corporate. After this gauntlet, I was scheduled for a ride-along with a driver, that was an all-day event (you are actually paid for this part of the interview process). Essentially, you go out with a driver and see their day-to-day, and interact with customers and whatnot. The guy I rode with was very pleasant, and good at his job. Granted, I have heard that sometimes a candidate is assigned to a lesser performing driver, and this part of the process can be quite frustrating, as you're basically doing this guy's job! Lastly, I met with the group VP, who basically shot from the hip. He was a pleasant, operations-minded guy, who shared a common work history with myself. Overall, the interview process was conducted over a 3 week period, then I was given the offer pending a drug screen, credit and criminal record checks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most of the questions were your typical, canned "describe a time when blah blah blah" sorts of things. Pretty easy stuff, if you just prime yourself with answers to questions that tell a good story, and provide a quantifiable outcome...
      Answer question
      2

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas in Dec 2025

      Interview

      Still in the process- step 1: recruiter pre-screen call step 2: General Manager in person next step- may take several weeks but if move forward will have zoom with regional and then VP. If a turn down is not received then you are still being considered for the role. For me, step 1+2 happened within 5 days. TBD if I move to 2-3

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      All STAR method 1. Tell me about a time you disagreed with how a boss/company handled a situation 2. Tell me about a time you were excited about a change and nobody else on your team was 3. Tell me about a time you were angry (like I want to yell, mad) with someone and how you handled the situation 4. Tell me about a time your enthusiasm motivated your team 5. Tell me about a time when your company rolled out a new initiative/process that you didn't like

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025

      Interview

      I interviewed with the senior recruiter and the interview asked general management questions. Since I found out about the role through LinkedIn, the recruiter explained more about the role and responsibilities, training provided, and specifics about the actual region the role would be in.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself. Highlight your top achievements in your career. Describe a day in your current role. What is one thing you like and dislike about your job? Tell me more about how you developed your team.
