The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (San Ramon, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Interview was very basic. Easy questions about background from high school through college. Heard nothing but positive comments about my performance. I was told I would be scheduled to shadow another rep... but then I got a generic email saying I was no longer being considered.

Question 1
Take me through your history from high school until now
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Ventura, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
I have a friend that works for Paychex that knew that I was trying to get out of my previous field of expertise. He told me to put my resume in and tell them he was my referrance. With in a few days of doing so, I got a call from their center in Chicago. I got the aptitude test online and quickly finished it. I called to check on the status of my hiring and found out that I had passed the test with flying colors. A day later I was contacted by another person and was told I have a face-to-face interview on Monday. It has been very easy dealing with the people I have talked to so far and can't wait to be hired after my Monday interview!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex in Oct 2011
Interview
Total waste of time for a crappy job. The salary is not that great, and they act like this is the best job ever. Make you jump through hoops, and do not reply to you in a timely manner. They will string you along for no reason, tell you they want you, then give no reason why they changed their minds.
I was first called by an outside recruiter about this position. She set up a phone interview with the District Sales Manager, one week later. The phone interview went well, but it took another two weeks to set up a face to face interview. I drove over 100 miles to meet for the face to face interview. I thought the interview went well, although the manager was a little odd. The recruiter kept telling me that I was the #1 candidate, and that the manager told her he was very interested. I did not hear back anything from for another week and a half. Finally, I get to set a second interview with another District Manager. I drove another 100 miles to meet the other District Manager. I thought the interview went well. I called the first manager and left a message to follow up the next day. 30 minutes later I get an email from the recruiter saying I was not a good fit. No explanation, no reason given, and the manager I had been speaking with for over a month did not even have the courtesy to call me personally.
