I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2015
Interview
First stage of the interview process was done with the HR Manager. This interview is done on a one on one basis. She briefly asked a few questions and wanted to know a little bit about your previous jobs. This particular interview common interview questions were asked. After the 1 hour interview process was over they offered a route ride along aka shadowing. On the route ride along you do get a great sense and understanding of the job. You do see multiple accounts that they do service and you do work along side with the SSR for that route. The route ride along is a early start roughly around 6AM but you are compensated with $100.00 for the day. After that stage you do have another meeting/ interview where you do meet with several other employees such as Supervisors, Managers and GM's. Its a very long process and they ask multiple questions in a one on one interview also in a tandem; example two or three interviewers and just you as the applicant. After that stage is done you'll be contacted for another interview which is for your references, start date availability and driver abstract. If you do get to this stage they WILL contact your references to know about your previous employments. After that stage is done you will be contacted for the last time to know that you are officially hired.
4 rounds with a ride along. First round over the phone then the next 3 are in person. In person range from 30 minutes to an hour. The ride along is four hours but you are compensated for it.

Question 1
Tell me a time you had to be creative to solve a problem?
You are interviewed several times by various managers. You are also expected to do a day on the road with a seasoned rep so that you can see what the job is.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (Central Islip, NY) in Aug 2023
Interview
Long process. Disorganized. Did not even know I was coming when I did. My route ride was delayed 1 hour because employee was late. Was waiting on a call for my third interview and instead got a call saying they aren’t continuing with me. Unprofessional. Their questions didn’t even make sense in the interview.
