I applied online. I interviewed at Cintas (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
Interviewer was 15 minutes late. Things were going great besides that. Then a lot of beating around the bush on compensation. It's $19.25 to train for two weeks then 10 to 12 thousand a year base plus commission. Also your route can alter your commission and you have no say in your route. I politely said I wasn't interested in a commission based position and that glassdoors average salary was 41k. The interviewer tried to then say it did pay that much even though it doesn't. Overall it felt like a life insurance or similar sales job. Everyone was overly dressed and trying to impress you. I was told something close to unlimited income potential more than once. I wouldn't be surprised if the recruiters got bonuses for each person hired or even how much they sold (pyramid).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no real interview questions besides the basic. Explain what you would do in this situation etc...
I went through a 4 step interview process including the ride along. I think it came down to the GM deciding it wasn't a good fit. Very top heavy management but very professional. Don't forget your suit.

Interview
6am ride-along with one of the drivers on the route, then you return to the office and speak with the entire gauntlet of hiring managers (roughly 5-6 interviews). Very thorough process.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas (Stockton, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
During the hiring process, the manager specifically told me he was hiring for a "bench role". Somebody who could fill in where needed at the company. The job title that was posted was a ghost position, and had no timetable of when it would actually be available.
