      Sales Representative Interview

      11 May 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Orlando, FL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paychex (Orlando, FL) in May 2010

      Interview

      Absolutely THE WORST interview process I have ever experienced!!. First I was taken into a room to take a math test. The test consisted of 50 questions and it was timed for 16 mins. (that wasn't as bad because I knew about the test going in). Of course when you're done, you have no idea of how well you did or not because they don't share the results with you. Afterwards, I was interviewed by a panel of 3 managers. I am used to getting the question, " tell us about yourself"...These guys took it to a new level..One mgr asked me to tell them my life's story from birth until now (i kid u not). Another mgr interrupted by saying that would be too far back and to talk about my life from high school and go forward. I was asked very personal questions that NOTHING to do with the job. They basically picked apart and gave opinions on MY life. It was highly unprofessional and would never consider working there if asked to. When I finally got to ask a question, they were very short with me and basically concluded by saying that old thanks for coming. I guess my life was not interesting enough and didn't fit into their mold. The initial HR rep with whom I spoke with was awesome but the panel interview definitely was a joke. Anyone interviewing there should definitely be prepared to dissect your life for the benefit of applying for a job.

      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.
