Interviewed Sep 2011 in Indianapolis, IN (took 3 weeks)
Once considered, the candidate has to complete a series of on-line exams and written essays as to why they would like to work for the company and what they have to offer that would benefit the company. Once passed, the candidate interviews with one seemingly nice manager who dangles the carrot via the use of false, or at least rare, salary quotients that in reality, very few ever achieve. The second interview is conducted by another manager who seems to be more intent and intimidating. They seemingly use this practice to entice and seduce the candidate into a state of acceptance that benefits the company in a sole manner. The details of how the draw and commissions work are obscure and veiled. Instead, emphasis is placed on the "real" possibility of the candidate making a six figure salary in their first year.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Confusion tactics are firmly implemented, as those conducting the interview appear as if they're short on time, making the candidate uncomfortable in the negotiation process due to the possibility that they might anger the interviewer and lessen their chance for consideration. This is perhaps by design, yet unprovable.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Indianapolis, IN (took 2 weeks)
The interview process consisted of a short phone interview with a recruiter. This was more aimed at getting an idea of your past experiences and making sure you understood the nature of a sales position, given that the compensation structure was based on a draw+commission structure. This step was more of a screening to rule out any idiots. The next step was a 1 on 1 interview with one of the managers of the Health dept. The guy was really nice and fun to talk to. The culture of the company seems very young and progressive. The guy I met with liked to have fun but knew the nature of hard work. After meeting with him, I was asked back for interview with the director of the Health dept. This guy was much more serious but still seemed genuine and easy to talk to. After meeting with him, I was offered the sales rep job. When applying they made it seem like they would background check and drug test. I had things on my record and was still hired so they seem open to having some blemishes on the background check. For the sales rep positions, they want people who are great at selling and have great dedication that motivates them to go above and beyond.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I chose to decline the offer because the structure of the position, given it being basically commission sales, it seemed like it would be very stressful with little to no experience in sales and with being a recent graduate from college. While it is a positive that the company is experiencing tremendous growth, at the same time, the company is not hesitant to fire those who aren't producing. I wanted a little more job security for a first position out of college, but the company seems like it would a great company to work for and the people I know who work there love it and claim that benefits are great.
