I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex in Jan 2012
Interview
I prescreened with a recruiter and he was able to arrange a one on one interview for me. The interview was scheduled a few weeks out but it was during the holidays so I'm not sure if this is typical. They sent me quite a lot of paperwork to complete beforehand. The interview was early in the morning and the first thing they did was give me a timed math test. It was very SAT in nature and you had 16 minutes to finish as many questions as possible. Then they gave the personality assessment which was the common "choose which word is most/least like you." The interview itself was average to slightly difficult. He asked me questions about how I would handle certain sales scenarios, what I thought their greatest obstacles were, etc. I left with a good feeling but did not receive an offer. I think it was due to lack of experience in compliance.

Interview
Took some math test then was asked a few questions. The interviewer seemed like he was in a hurry the whole time. Did not want the job anyways just wanted to see what it was about. Matched up to the negative reviews this place gets on the web. No wonder they need to go through staffing agencies
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.
