Cintas interview questions

Initial screening call with sales manager for your area. If both parties are interested, then you have a formal call with sales manager online. If you move on, you are able to participate on a ride along with another sales representative to learn more about the job directly. You will also likely meet the General Manager at the location but may not necessarily interview. If you move on, you will interview with the Regional Training Director and then with the Regional VP of Sales.

3 to 4 round interview including a ride along with their top performing rep Basic sales questions, if you’ve done sales - it’s not a difficult interview process if you have exp in sales. That experience makes it easier to build a basic talk track around quota, outbound etc. The ride along was interesting as you went out in the field with a rep and got to see a day in the life which involves cold dropping in on offices in person and following up on calls. Seems a bit chaotic and arbitrary as the rep I was with dropped in on a current customer and she didn’t know. They cold call some days and are out in the field other days. Not sure why they couldn’t do these drop ins over the phone or profess the sales cycle on a zoom call but that’s the way they do things. They claim they will pay you for the ride along but I was never sent a check. I even gave them an updated address and was never followed up with. I was given positive feedback with everyone I spoke to: managers, VP level ppl, recruiter. But when I had the ride along, that’s when I was rejected for the role. So you can do well throughout the interview process but if the rep doesn’t like you or recommend you then you won’t get the job which seems odd bc even with the right background, the rep will dictate if you get the job or not based on whatever they deem appropriate. Another thing to note is that the top rep had been in her role for 4 years without a promotion. They claim upward mobility but someone who has consistently exceeded her quota has been stuck in her role for years. Something to think about. Easy process but random rejection with no explanation and didn’t get paid for the ride along.
