Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The first interview is basically a screening interview with the HR manager. The second interview will be with one of the department managers and most the questions are situational. After that, you will be given a personality,skills,IQ test that consist of 116 questions. Not that easy. After my second interview Cintas never contacted me to tell me why I didn't get the job and what was more disappointing about all of it was the whole process consisted of a total of five interviews.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 5 weeks)
Cintas is a great corporation, and I was excited to head to the on-site interview after a 1:1 interview and then an online test. They then invite you to their headquarters in Mason. Once you're there you take a tour of the facility and jump right into three interviews with different managers. The people I interviewed with were great but the recruiter was very pushy and arrogant, calling my decision to want to remain in the Midwest "ridiculous" it was rather off putting

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Greensboro, NC (took 2 weeks)
After filling out the application I was contacted and asked to come in for an initial interview with the recruiter. This interview was 1 on 1 and asked basic questions like what do you know about Cintas and why do you think you are a good fit for the job. 2 weeks later after contacting the recruiter I was told that I could come in for an interview with the plant and district manager. They asked similar questions and also name I time when your work was criticized. Interview, I felt went well however never heard back from them.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
Was contacted by an HR rep who conducted a simple phone interview. Asked why I was looking for a new job, what I liked most about my current position as well as what I liked least. She then set up a 1 on 1 interview at the location I was applying for.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process is very thorough. There was two phone interviews, four face to face interviews, and the final meeting with the VP. Please be advised, the candidate can be eliminated at any point of the process. You must do well on each interview to be considered for the next step in the process. You must also pass a background and drug screening after the offer is made. Cintas is looking for a culture fit, not just a clock "puncher".

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Puyallup, WA (took 2 months)
I met with the recruiters at the Career Fair at my University. The first interview was scheduled for the second day of the Career Fair and it went really well. The employees of Cintas were all very friendly and made me feel at ease. I was invited back to Puyallup for a final interview. This consisted of a plant tour, and four separate hour-long interviews. Again, I felt very comfortable with all of the interviewers. They asked questions like: Name a time when you had to choose between creating quality product and meeting a deadline. I am still waiting to hear back from them, though it's only been two weeks since my final interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I first applied for the SSR position online after watching a five minute video or so as this is required for all candidates applying for the position. I received a callback from HR about a month later for an interview which was scheduled on a Monday. I interviewed with the person from HR who initially called me, very polite and friendly, then was sent to take a personality test with around 200 questions; this took about a half hour. Just your basic personality questions, no math or anything else involved. Then I was sent to interview with a Service Manager who was also very friendly and had been with the company for a long period of time. I was called back the following day for my ride along day and had to be there at 5:30 am to see what a basic day is like with the position. The person I rode along with was very friendly and seemed to be very good at the job. After coming back to the site location around 1 or so I then interviewed with another Service Manager and was told to expect a call back for an interview with the General Manager. I was called the next day and set up another interview the following morning. When arriving for my final interview, the GM was not there so I interviewed with the Plant Manager. After interviewing with the Plant Manager, the four interviews up to this point were the exact same basic STAR formatted questions where you address Situation, Task at Hand, Action Taken and then the Result for each situation addressed. It was up to this stage in the process I thought I was doing well until my final interview. When I met with the GM he did not ask any of these STAR questions and just threw random questions my way. Expect to have a lot of questions to answer and make sure you have plenty of your own questions to ask. I asked around four questions. I even had great reviews from the person I rode along with, but none of this means anything if you don't pass the final one. I was also told I'd have to shave my beard off and no facial hair was allowed. I thought this was absolutely ridiculous considering the people we met with on the routes were mostly mechanics and blue collared workers who had facial hair and did not really care what you looked like as long as their uniforms were there on time. I was pretty excited through the whole process until the last interview where at that point I was hoping I didn't receive a call back. Pretty much a waste of my time. They were starting out at around 17 per hour for training and I wasn't too sure of the pay structure once you went salary. The job is pretty mundane and I don't know why they put you through so much for a job a 16 year old high school student could handle with a little training. This position was pretty repetitive and I probably would have been bored after a month. I received a call back a week later asking about reference checks and that the ones I listed weren't sufficient, but at that point I didn't even want the job anymore so I never even called back. If this job is for you there's potential to make money, but I was not willing to drink the Cintas Kool-Aid as they call it. All of the other interview reviews on here I've read are very accurate of what to expect.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Schaumburg, IL (took a day)
Had a face to face interview with a Skill test before. I went an completed the written test and plant manager did not have time to show me around nor talk to me regarding the position. It felt like it was a waste of his time. There was never a call from the plant manager regarding the position or the test.
