I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cintas (Maywood, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
Recruiter very nice and engaging. Had a great first call was asked to move forward to an onsite interview. I showed up 10 minutes early but the interviewer (would be my peer if I had gotten the roll) pulled me 15 minutes after the interview started with no acknowledgment that he was late or delayed. He asked me a few questions but didn’t even listen to my responses. As soon as I would finish my thought he would already have the page turned and asking the next question (almost cutting me off at one point to get to the next question). He was extremely unprofessional and needs some training on interviewing skills. Talked poorly about his employees quite a bit. Also spoke so much about his prior role it felt like I was in an interview for that company instead. Most unprofessional experience I have ever had.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas in Dec 2025
Interview
Still in the process-
step 1: recruiter pre-screen call
step 2: General Manager in person
next step- may take several weeks but if move forward will have zoom with regional and then VP. If a turn down is not received then you are still being considered for the role. For me, step 1+2 happened within 5 days. TBD if I move to 2-3

I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
I interviewed with the senior recruiter and the interview asked general management questions. Since I found out about the role through LinkedIn, the recruiter explained more about the role and responsibilities, training provided, and specifics about the actual region the role would be in.
