Started off with a Phone call from the senior manager who was extremely professional. Next Step was an in person interview with the Senior manager, then the plant manager, and then HR Rep. Was asked to move forward with going to a ride along for the whole day with one of the top service managers, who is very professional. Met with the GM who is a very enthusiastic guy, after the meeting with I was sure I just lost the job. On my way home got a phone call that I was going to have a phone interview with the Senior director of Service. That went ok, just grilled me and tried to break me, thought I wasn't getting it. Got a phone call the next day that they were extending am offer . Very excited, accepted the offer signed the offer sheet and just waiting on the drug test and background to come back. Very professional and upbeat company, looking forward to the next 20 to 25 years with Cintas.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas in Dec 2025

Still in the process-
