I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cintas (Kennesaw, GA) in Feb 2019
Interview
After turning in my application, the process began with a call to schedule a Phone interview with HR. Then if all goes well with the HR interview, a phone interview with your locations sales manager, and then an in person interview with sales manager if you pass phone interviews. Also, possibly an interview with the GM of your location. Was told that in the phone interview portion but that didn’t end up happening in my particular situation. Everyone was extremely helpful and courteous at Cintas. This company really seems like a great place to work. even though I wasn’t given an offer this time, I definitely have not given up on the idea of one day working for this company. Everything in the interview process strengthened my desire to be a part of the Cintas team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time when a customer was resistant to a sale and what did you do to make the sale.
Recruiter handled the process the entire time we did not go forward though. I felt like the recruiter ghosted me after i followed all instructions. But I would answer if approached again.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (Oregon City, OR) in Oct 2024
Interview
Sales Managers in this company drank too much Cintas kool-aid. They are just as bad as most companies who over hype potential earnings and career paths. It is a truly baffling experience especially for a tenured sales executive.
If you need a job in sales to build your resume/career, Cintas would be a great starting point. If you are a seasoned sales executive, Cintas is not the way to go.
A 4-step interview process for entry level sales? That seems to be a bit extreme but who am I to judge?
Cintas' interview process involves stages like online application, phone screening, in-person interviews, skill assessments, facility tours, final interviews, background checks, and job offers. Specific steps may vary depending on the role and location of the position.
