      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY)

      Interview

      3 rounds of panel style interview. Each round had 2-3 managers speak a bit about themselves and their history their. I also started the process by shadowing a newbie in the role for 30 mins beforehand.

      Sales Representative Interview

      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.
