      Sales Representative Interview

      24 Jun 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Rochester, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in Apr 2009

      Interview

      After filling out the usual paper work I took a skills test and a basic math test. If it's been awhile since you've seen some formal math it's definitely worth brushing up on those skills. Then they told me a little bit about the position, and I got to listen in on some sales calls. We then went back into a room where I told them what I thought. If you're into sales, you'll probably be ok. I wanted to see what it was all about and in the end I couldn't see myself in that job.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex

      Interview

      Had an HR screening, then I had an interview with 2 Managers which went great, and a final round interview with the Senior District Sales Manager. I emailed the Senior Manager to schedule time for the final round but he liked to act like he was all busy and important, after about an hour of no response I sent him another email asking if he had a time in mind and responded within a minute. The Senior Manager had this inflated sense of worth that apparently he's too high up there to bother responding within an hour to an initial email if it's not convenient for him. Following the final interview, I received the standard rejection email and asked for feedback from the Senior Manager on what I could've done better. Never received a response; like I said before, his inflated sense of worth makes him think it's ok to not answer a basic request.
