I applied through other source. I interviewed at Paychex (Salem, OR) in Dec 2020
Interview
Interview was virtual, 4 separate interviews and a employee shadow or “ride along”. Discussed compensation and commission structure in depth. Went over offer letter during a zoom and confirmed my employment. Interview process was quick, approximately 2 weeks. The virtual aspect of it actually made it easier in my opinion. Right now my role is entirely virtual so it was nice to sort of get a taste before starting.
