Interviewed Jan 2012 in Sparks, NV (took 5 days)
I was first interviewed via telephone than went in for a one-on-one interview with the branch manager. I did have to complete a application on site consisting of work history and eduction history. The interview was quick but very informative. All of my questions were answered and I felt that the interviewer was very upfront about the job and what it requires. I was asked prior to the interview to research employee complaints in Oder to get a grasp of the job and the issues I could expect. I felt that the job is hard and requires alot of door knocking on my behalf and expect to be running around alot. I was also informed that your record keeping is done currently on a Blackberry soon to be switched to a tablet computer, specifically a Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I think that though this is not a job for those that will not or cannot give 100% to the job and if you do your earnings will reflect that. Routs are protected and broken down by zip code. Given the area where I live that could encompass many miles of driving per day. It's all about commitment and drive. If you can sell and are not just an order taker this is a good job for you. Wish me luck. I am excited about this job and hope I land it. It's just up my ally and I felt that management was honest and supportive.

Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
Overall Branch manager who conducted interview was clueless. Never told me about meeting a sales quota only said that i had to be good with people and maintain current customers. Now a year in, it doesnt matter how good you treat the customers or how well they like you, all that matters is selling them more product. He did not explain what i was getting into at all as far as a job description. My advice if you are interviewing for this job is to ask what will be expected of me in order to be succesful.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Syracuse, NY (took a day)
Ariived--filled out application though I had sent my resume and had been given the green light to interview-went into conference room for a 1 on 1- spoke with the sales manager-very pleasant-reviewed my resume-no difficult questions-just a simple"this is what we do here and this is what we are looking for"-described the job duties, territory, told me the base was $36,000, no company car-manager proceeded to give me a PI test which asks you to fill in the boxes next to the words that describe HOW you think people perceive you and then turn the page over and the same words are there BUT the instructions ask you to fill in hte boxes next to the words of HOW you perceive yourself. This test is from 1955. It can be googled-check it out-"no right or wrong answers" BUT they will determine if you are a company fit. This is just a very lazy way to determine if you are going to be a good fit. I guess interviewing and spending time with a candidate is just too progressive an idea! - if you are called back you will meet with the GM-pass that and the District Mgr gets to interview you--

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Denver, CO (took 3 months)
Interview with general manager, ride along with route personnel, interview with operations manager. This was my 2nd interview process with the company. Was promised a communique regarding the first interview but never received one. Not sure if the position was ever filled as I was contacted regarding the same position 9 months later. Office seemed somewhat chaotic. Organization was missing. They are growing rapidly but are not able to keep up with the workload. After numerous promises of additional interviews within a day or two, took another month to actually have the interview. Original position and pay offered was replaced by a lower paying position with less responsibility on the 2nd interview. This was done very unprofessionally, only mentioned after being asked specifically regarding the position.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took a day)
I was told the interview was a 4 step process, beginning with the phone interview. He asked what I knew about the company, so definitely helps to do your research. The second step would be an in-person interview... but I never made it that far. He told me he would tell me the final 2 steps at the face to face, so not sure what they were.
