I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (Bedford Park, IL) in Sept 2022
Interview
They must have trouble keeping drivers. Their ad is listed time and time again for my local hub. I have all of the experience listed in the qualifications but was rejected via email after talking to the recruiter. Very disappointed they don't interview in person at the site with people who know the job. Speaking to someone via phone half way across the country who doesn't at all relate to the the local driving industry is not productive.
I went through a 4 step interview process including the ride along. I think it came down to the GM deciding it wasn't a good fit. Very top heavy management but very professional. Don't forget your suit.

Interview
6am ride-along with one of the drivers on the route, then you return to the office and speak with the entire gauntlet of hiring managers (roughly 5-6 interviews). Very thorough process.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas (Stockton, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
During the hiring process, the manager specifically told me he was hiring for a "bench role". Somebody who could fill in where needed at the company. The job title that was posted was a ghost position, and had no timetable of when it would actually be available.
