What is the interview process like?

Asked June 10, 2016

I went in for my second interview *in person* I'm applying for customer service rep. In distribution. First thing I took a typing test which was pretty simple. Then I met with 2 managers who we're very nice my interview lasted about 45 minutes I have a lot of customer service experience also my last job was in pharmaceutical so my interview was very detailed. Afterwards I was able to sit in and listen to a call which was pretty awesome to get a feel of the calls. Over all I was there about an hour and a half. I'm not sure if that's how all interviews go but I think it went well. Training start January 7th so I'm hoping I'll hear Something soon. If you ever worked here was this your experience as well?
