Interviewed Jan 2010 in Branford, CT (took 3 weeks)
I was first contacted by the local manager and brought in for an interview. Once I passed that they made me drive two hours and I met another manager. Then after that I drove three hours and met the VP. Then I was brought in that Saturday and met the plant GM who grilled me and made me believe all this false nonsense about Cintas. Then I was made and offer later that day. They make it seem like it some big important process and that they are a company of high moral and ethical standards. This is all false! Its a big sale. They are baiting you into thinking you are getting some great job.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Saint Louis, MO (took 4+ weeks)
First I received a call from HR to schedule a phone screening. Then after the initial phone screening I was scheduled to interview with the Facility Sales Rep Manager. After that interview I got a phone call from the Sales Rep manager later that day to schedule me for my next interview. My next interview was with the sales rep manager at a different plant. After that interview I received a call later that day to interview with the uniform sales rep manager the next week. After that interview I was setup to go on a all day ride-along. They paid me for the ride-along so that was good. After the ride-along I was called the next day and scheduled to interview with the District Sales Rep Manager. After that interview I was called a week later and scheduled to interview with VP of Sales for the Midwest Region. My interview with him was via web-conference. That interview was more about how Cintas operates and what would be expected of me if I was selected. After that interview I was called two weeks later and asked to come into the office. I was pretty confident that I got the job at this point. When I came into the office the next day I was offered the position. The whole interview process was different than anything Ive ever experienced. Most of the interview questions were behavioral. Yes, it was long grueling but it was worth it in the end. Cintas is very careful about who they hire hence the reason for the low turnover rate. I cant wait to start my career with Cintas! I will update my work experience later.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 3 weeks)
After being recruited by the sales manager, who stated that he was in fact the "hiring manager" but is not, I went on a ride-along with one of the reps, who used only pushy old-fashioned sales techniques that this new Information Age has shifted away from with the introduction of the world wide web and other technologies. The sales rep was very inexperienced and money hungry...ideal for cintas's high turnover rate. The sales rep also did not understand that when you are selling to a business owner, you must think like a business owner.
After meeting with the Regional Director, I was then asked to meet with the VP of sales 3.5 hours away and have my final interview. I stated that I would abide by company procedures and training initiatives, but that I could utilize other self-marketing tactics to generate leads and make sales. To make the sale is, in fact, what a sales rep is paid for...not to cold-call, to present, etc..
The interview lasted only 30 minutes (after a 3 and a half hour drive) and, after obtaining approval for the positon by a sales rep, sales manager, and regional director, I was not offerred the position after the interview with the VP. I also contacted the sales manager to see if it was possible to communicate any feedback as to why the decision had been made to not offer me the position, but he did not respond. Now I keep asking myself, after 4 interviews, what I did wrong.
It was an overall negative experience and I would never recommend it.
