I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cintas (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
My hiring process was comical. I did multiple phone interviews then I was called in to do an “exciting” shadow that was intended to show me the morning meetings, meet the team, then a shadow later in the day.
The morning meeting was ok. Then the manager called me in the office to ask me more questions to “get to know me.” That conversation consisted of him asking me one question then going on a hour long rant about his life and accomplishments.
After that I was told to go back to the meeting room and he gave me a book of numbers a script and told me to start calling numbers. After about 3 hours the manager came back and asked what I thought. I asked about the shadow and he responded saying that he wasn’t able to schedule it. So I continued to call more numbers then I got over it. He came back and gave me a talk about slacking off. I looked at him dead in the eyes and left.
I’d avoid this place at all cost
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cintas
Interview
I had an interview scheduled after a recruiter reached out to me. I scheduled the interview and let them know I was looking to relocate. The recruiter didn’t read that part I guess and when I got on the interview I let her know again, she said she doesn’t oversee that region so she will forward my info to that region. My interview was at 3pm, I assumed the other recruiter would email me to set up a time, he called around 4:30 but I was working so I couldn’t pick up. No voicemail, no email, just never heard back.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas in Apr 2026
Interview
Was headhunted via LinkedIn, went very far into long interview process, then was rejected due to incomplete post-secondary, which they would have known before they headhunted me. Lack of organization and filtering through recruitment, however, fantastically structured company, lots of opportunity for hungry reps.
